@prarysky Wonderful! I, too, had the saline before and after the infusion. It is standard practice where I go. Thank you for contacting me. It warms my heart to think that we are all helping each other with this. But I'm angry about the number of docs and infusion centers that don't seem to have a clue how this infusion is to be administered. How many patients are out there who were never told how to prepare or what the infusion process should be? And how many of those patients possibly suffered needlessly? I will never forget my endocrinologist telling me that "infusion centers are not all equal"...boy, was there truth to that!
