Could it be Enteropathic Arthritis? It is another type of seronegative inflammatory arthritis.

If you have a gastrointestinal infection ... it could also be Reactive Arthritis.

I'm just guessing and I don't really know. I was diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis a long time ago. I was very sick and wound up in the emergency room because of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The acute pain was also torture.

Thanks for your feedback. I will research the conditions that you mentioned and see if it fits.
I was also wondering if I was dehydrated after the infusion if that made my body react that way? I know my fluid intake was pretty low.

I found reading about the Enteropathic Arthritis very interesting. I am realizing that this is not an easy diagnosis and there seems to be many variations. I will just keep track of my symptoms and treatment. I was pretty much in panicking mode when I started having weird reactions to my infusion. It took three days to clear. I am going to ask my doctor if I push fluids if it would reduce my side effects? I have a tendency to not hydrate enough.
Whew, lots of learning curves!
