She did not seem to be sure based on the doctor's notes if I will receive a benadryl iv each time or continue with the oral med.
They should have slowed the infusion after the first time.

I am sorry you are going through this, you must be feeling like a pincushion! Try not to stress (easier said than done, I know!) How are you feeling otherwise?

Please let us know how it goes.
