Perhaps that is just one of the reasons why so many who have had the infusion advise you to drink plenty before and during it - to stop this happening

I wonder that too.

I was told to drink 5 pints of fluid for 3 days after my infusion and I believe that’s possibly why I avoided any of the short term possible side effects.

I think the ROS also recommend drinking plenty of fluids after infusion.

It’s a worry that different medical practitioners have different opinions when there should be best practice in place.

I have heard a number of people who have had infusions recommending it. It certainly seems to help ward off some of the nasty side effects.

Not what you're looking for?
