My issues start during the night following. I get very dizzy and nauseus when I get up or even lying down but about 8 hours later and I am good to go until I get hit with the fatigue quick nap and since then I have been fine.
I have begun shedding some symptoms and I've only had 2 infusions they told me maybe after the 3rd. So far I am very pleased.

Hope everyone has great results.
I am very happy to have found this site.
Thanks to all

Hi Laurie and welcome to NeuroTalk!

I haven't had any issues after infusions, but I did have the itchies during a few infusions and I didn't have a rash either!
For the last three infusions we have been turning and rotating the bag to remix the solution and that seems to be working for me. It took me 4-5 infusions to figure it out, so try it and see if it works for you! Are you pre-medicating with benadryl or another antihistamine?

Good to hear you have some symptom relief! Let us know how it goes!
