Thanks en bloc, I do hydrate before and they give me 1/2 bag of saline before and after. We started that after I had gotten a really bad headache from them once. We also run it really slow. I have taken different premeds during the last year and a half. I started with the Tylenol and Benadryl. I can't remember why we stopped the Tylenol. I stopped the Benadryl because it puts me to sleep and I actually felt like I couldn't drive home. My husband was taking me to and from but we can't afford for him to do that. I was getting steroids with my Rx for awhile. I developed high b/p so we stopped those. It's a good thing I knew the steroids could cause it because their answer was a b/p med. As soon as I stopped the steroids it went back to normal.
The last few months of Rxs I have been getting really nauseous. I have Zofran for that but it makes me feel lousy. I'm really sensitive to meds. So this time we tried Pepcid and it seemed to help a little. I don't know how to describe what I feel when I get them. It's like my nerve endings are going crazy. I do feel the flu symptoms this time and I haven't had that reaction in a while. My legs are really achy and the bottom of my back hurts. I thought maybe I had a fever but I don't. I had the Rxs on Tuesday and Wednesday so I'm hoping this is all gone by tomorrow.
I will definitely try the Zyrtec next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
