Vic, I do not mean to disagree with you, but not every infusion center is as attentive as yours. My nurse only checked on me about every 15 minutes during the first hour. I was in an exam room by myself the rest of the time. They did not slow the infusion down until my last one, and I had to remind them to do it. I did not receive an iv of saline solution during the second hour. They just told me to wait in the waiting room, and I had to go and tell the receptionist I was having a reaction. During my last reaction, I had to push a panic button, as no one heard me call for help.

I did fill out a survey listing these concerns, but have never heard anything. In my opinion, the entire staff at my neurologist's office needs to retrained or they should not be doing the infusions.

Natalie, I hope your infusion goes well for you. Most people do not experience the problems I had. The only reason I posted is so that you would know that you may have to be proactive. If I were you, I would call (your neuro) and ask about pre medicating.
