Thanks for the input. I had heard to drink water, and thankfully I constantly drink water anyway, so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch for me. I'll just pay a bit more attention to make sure I'm drinking. The pharmacist also advised me to take a Tylenol or Advil prior to each day to hopefully prevent or at least lessen the magnitude of the potential headaches.

The pharmacist said that he would expect the first day to take about 5 hours and the following days to take about 3-4 hours. I'm not sure what that would break down to as far as a rate, and I'm sure it varies since the volume is based on your weight, but hopefully I'll have a good, responsive nurse, just in case.

And not prone to migraines (or headaches, even), and definitely not female!

Thanks again (and hoping it helps!!)
