Hi
I just finished 5 treatments spread out over 3 weeks. They spread mine out because of my age (70). My treatments took about 3 hours each. They started me out with a slow rate and increased it about every 20 minutes to reach the max of 225. I was gived the unmedicated version and had no reactions. The nurses always warned of headaches and flu like symptoms but never had those. All that said I have not seen any improvement however each person reacts differently. One fellow told me after his 5 treatments he went into remission. I was nervous when I went for my first one but have since discovered it was really a piece of cake. I went to an infusion center and they had a snack room, provided lunch and each cube had a TV. I would give it a shot and I wish her the best.
Mike

How do you generally feel after a session? How is your overall muscle weakness after having it done for however many sessions it generally takes to start working.
Thank you!
