Thank you so much Gail... I will definitely do those things and talk w my doc next week. They told me to take benadryl but I didn't .. certainly will next time.. The ice and needles size is good idea too. My arm is still aching after 7 days. They did give it slow .. 4 hrs but the ice is a good idea.

Have to work up on dose- mine was 10 first wk then wk 2 was 20 and then 2 wks later 30 and then final 40 every 4 wks. Have them slow down infusions and put ice on while doing. Use 12mm needles instead of 9mm and premedicate with Tylenol 1000mg and Benadryl 50mg. Still makes me tired and have pain but getting better. I'm getting subcutaneous infusion not iv.

Cassidy,

The above is a text from my daughter regarding her dose. I don't know if the suvcutaneous infusion is different than the Iv ur doing tho.
