I thought I'd help get us to 1000 so we can get a new thread!

I had #10 yesterday, and it was my best infusion by far! I've been getting a horrible case of the chills five minutes after the infusion is completed, and it lasts about 1/2 hour.

Premedicating with benadryl didn't make a difference. I've learned that an aleve an hour before helps with any headaches. But after yesterday, I think the chills, and the fact my body tenses during that time were causing the headaches.

It just went really well. I hope they all can be that way!

There were a few different things. One, it had been five weeks since my last infusion because of a toenail fungus that looked like it may have infection, so I had that nail removed and they postponed ty for a week, and two I was still on Keflex from the toenail removal.

I also took some hot chocolate that I sipped during the infusion.

I think next infusion I'll keep the hot chocolate part, still premedicate with the Aleve an hour before, and hopefully I won't be on any antibiotic!
