I did this exact same treatment last week. My treatments were about four hours. I took Benadryl and Tylenol 30 min before treatment and drank water every waking moment starting two days before treatment. I had a,few bad headaches. After the first one, nurse told me to take Tylenol the second it hit...that wiped the others out. I took Tylenol pretty regularly through the week. It wasn't bad. The worst part to me was feeling like a zombie from the n
Benadryl. I was just sluggish....couldn't drive from that. But, I still went to my kid's ball games, etc. the biggest shock to me was e vital sign monitoring. I had visions of lying on sofa reading, watching TV, etc. my nurse took my vital signs every 15 min. During the treatment....made relaxing and reading a tad bit difficult. It really isn't bad....the fear of what it will be is worse than the treatment.
