I feel wiped out from the infusion and now have a low grade fever, which I have gotten a couple of times after other Ty. infusions. But other than that things are fine and dandy! Glad the election is over too.
Glad to hear it all went well for # 5, Natalie!

How long does the fever usually last? What does your neuro say about it?
Do you treat it with tylenol or what? Enquiring minds want to know...

I go for # 20 tomorrow and see the neuro afterwards, after working all night!
