Default Sounds like possible aseptic meningitis to me...

SIGH...
It seems like this happens a lot when when the rate is too fast, you're not fully hydrated, etc.
Do you get the Benadryl & Tylenol for pre-meds? I actually start take 25 mg. of Benadryl every 8 hours the night before my infusion, every 4 hours the day of, and every 8 hours the day following. Also, push the water the night before in a major, major way.
I have been very lucky, so far (knock wood) and have never personally experienced the symptoms you are experiencing.
I hope that they'll run it MUCH slower for you next time & please try to not get too discouraged.

Best wishes,
Ro
