I am so sorry to hear that the infusion has not helped. Please give it some time and perhaps it will improve. A couple of things I did not mention is that when the weather is bad I always have symptoms regardless of the date of my infusions. Also, I have stopped all alcohol use and I have to exercise several times per week or I have more pain and parentheses in my extremities. Also if I have high sugar intact my symptoms are worse.
I am so sorry you have to go through this……. My though and prayers are with you.
Are you taking any medications
such as gabapentin?

Thank you Kim for responding. I’m not taking gabapentin, I’m afraid for it to mess up my brain, what is your experience with it? I’m on Tylenol when needed. And I read that joint and muscle pain could be a side effect of the initial load and last for about 5 days, I hope this is the case. I’m not touching alcohol, no sweets but eat lots of fruits, which is also sugar… wishing you the best!
