I had a few soda's prior to the infusion...but next time...I am drinking tons and tons of water before, in between....and after!!
Also, infusion went in over 3 hours....2g/KG...I will also ask them to slow it down....
But the problems didn't start until the next day...after I got home...Doctor told me to stop taking the imuran too...

Another factor is the infusion speed, they should start slowly (about 3 to 4 hours per bottle) then inscrease the speed if everything goes well.
