Clarkstar, I premedicate with benadryl 30 minutes prior to an infusion. It helps me a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Itching is a problem for me all of the time. I would never make it through an infusion without my benadryl

My side effects include fatigue, headache, pain in my arms and legs.....sometimes I feel slightly feverish. The side effects for me last anywhere from a couple of day to a week. But, usually they are only there for a few days
My infusion center doesn't like to do blood work either

I have to beg to have my blood drawn. If they don't do it every 3-4 infusions I go to my dr and have them do a blood test for me.
good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
