Ask your PC about pre-medicating.
Im on Rituxin and the nausea was horrific during the infusion despite IV Zofran.
I pre-medicated with Sublingual Indica before leaving home… no nausea, no dizziness, no pain!
I sat with a friend and drank coffee with a snack and chatted!
The fatigue was bad for two weeks post infusion but now my long covid POTS is resolving!!!
Pre-medicate and bring a friend

CANTEC, Thank you for your information about pre-medicating. This practice doesn't do any medicating before the infusion. I don't have the ripping abdominal pain until that evening, the next day or even starting on the second day after the infusion. Now it's become constant daily burning stomach pain which brings on nausea, impedes eating and brings on severe discomfort. I am supposed to have an infusion on Monday 1/13/2025 but I'm scared silly that it will happen again so bad that I will have to call an ambulance to get to the ER. I saw my rhuemy on Tuesday 1/7/2025 and he did not want me to stop the infusions because they are helping reduce the RA pain. He has no idea how painful the aftermath of the infusion can get. I think I am risking my health getting this next infusion and should cancel it if I'm in my right mind. It is my body and the doctor has no idea how much pain it can put me in.
