Thanks laurasari. I talked to my neuro and I may even have the infusion slowed down to 90 minutes. 45 minutes has been leaving me feeling really awful for days. They follow the infusion with saline and I wait. They don't draw blood before each infusion -- just every 3 months for the JC virus test and liver test.

I also have been getting sleepy after the infusion but after that I feel good.

Be well
