@bluebonnet242 hydrate well the day before, day of and day after. IV hydration is an option if you have kidney disease.

Request and order from your doctor for slow infusion over an hour.

Tylenol before and after as needed.

I make a distinction between the "acute phase reaction" of fever and fluishness which ends usually in days or a week- and actual longer term "side effects." The above advice applies to the acute phase reaction. You may or may not have long term side effects- many don't have any.

I followed the same process as Windyshores except that I had the full infusion.
No problems. Thinking back, I’m pretty sure that I got this advice from windyshores, not from the infusion center.

I too followed windyshores but having no idea one could request a slower infusion, went with the regular timing. I started drinking water 3 hours before the scheduled infusion and swilled the last 16 ounces as I went out the door. Water was a challenge as I rarely drink it and have been a lifelong milk drinker. I also took 1000 mg of acetaminophen that morning and a Claritin tablet the night before. Continued drinking water all day after the infusion and had no side effects other than a craving for Thai food which may not be related.
