Thanks everyone. I am getting lots of liquids. I have the infusion at home so that makes it easier. The first day they did 300 ml over 3 hours. They did premed me with acetominophen and benadryl. They called the doctor, I was afraid they were going to hold off on continuing. But they said I can take up to 4000 of acetominophen a day. So I am taking 975 every 6 hours. They did the drip (no Pump) over 5 hours today. Between that and the ice pack on my head I am feeling better. Last night my smile returned. For the past 3 weeks the right side of my face has been stroke-like. It now looks normal and my muscle pain is significantly less. I am very enthused over the results in just one day. My speech is less slurry and the swallowing issues are subsiding. For these kind of results, I can endure any headache.

thanks
kathie
