@scoop that's interesting. Thanks for posting it. So many potential causes, but seems like very few people have heard of it.
I don't know how you do the sub q injections. I've been lucky and haven't had too many side effects over the years. The most frequent were headaches, fever and chills, but my doctor ordered fluids to be given prior to the infusions along with the Benadryl and Tylenol. It's helped a lot.
Continued success with your treatment!
