LOTS of water...and make sure that you are pre-medicated with tylenol and benadryl ...and IV steriods....I have to have a little xanax too...because I get a little anxious before each infusion...

I have to have my IVIG infused over 12-14 hours because I am so sensitive to it.

Also, I always get severe headaches approx 2 days after the infusions...

BUT, all of this is worth the energy that this stuff gives me! I feel like my old self after a week...and it lasts for a good 3-5 weeks!!!
