In answer to your question about reactions, I have heard of a lot of folks having reactions with their first infusion. In most cases the infusion was slowed, benadryl was administered, the reaction was stopped and infusion continued at a slower rate. They were all advised to premedicate with benadryl pre infusion from that point on. Some do benadryl and Tylenol or ibuprofen. A lot of folks do Claritin so they don't have the drowsies. In all of the cases I have heard of, the infusion was continued with a slower drip rate during following infusions. In all cases the neuro was called and informed of the reaction, and was involved in the decision as to whether or not to continue. I would follow my doctor's advice. Only you and your doctor can decide what to do if you continue to have problems. ![]()
