Update on Remi Infusion
Well, everything went pretty well with the infusion. They started the IV really slow at first so if I had any reaction it would be to a very small amount of the Remi. The nurse also gave me two Tylenol and two Benadryl, as well as a bag of saline about 30 minutes before they started the Remi.
When I received the first drip I had a weird sort of panicky feeling and my hands were really warm; the nurse said it's normal, and it passed really fast. It didn"t happen any more after that, I don't know if I just freaked myself out or if it was the meds.
The nurse also only set the IV in 15 minute increments and took my blood pressure each time she reset the machine. Otherwise it was pretty uneventful and I felt really relaxed, caught up on a few movies with my hubby.
The only side effects I've noticed is dizziness and a little diarrhea, though it's hard for me to say that it's the Remi that caused that lol. Next infusion is in two weeks, I'll keep everyone posted.
