Have they discussed doing oral benadryl instead of IV? That would seem to me a good alternative. I have several pts that have the "reverse" reaction to benadryl and get wired and hyper with IV benadryl, so we give a lower than normal dose of oral. The other thing you may ask about is using hydroxyzine (vistaril) (similar to benadryl) IV which can be much better tolerated.<br /><br />Hang in there... I am not very familiar with giving iron by infusion, but it does make sense that it would take a bit of time for you to feel a difference. Make sure to discuss this with them, to make sure that it isn't out of the ordinary. <br /><br />Don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions or need to vent. tiffanyzook@gmail.comTiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620355198209520120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-84388320525747292512010-07-06T23:36:10.330-04:002010-07-06T23:36:10.330-04:00:-(

Hopefully the infusions are completely done and you can ride out this reaction. As for PMS, unfortunately you are stuck with that for awhile I'm afraid.<br /><br />Yuppiville does not sound like a place I'd like to visit. I've always thought I'd love to live in Miami, but realize my alabaster (as in glow in the dark) white skin and flab would not make the beaches beautiful. We all have our issues, there is no doubt about that, but hopefully you will realize that we all love you and hope one day you will also realize how fabulous you are. Think on the bright side, maybe J was going to say PHat, not Fat :) ((hugs)) my friend.Barihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677387733194492488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-52655744876854204122010-07-06T17:56:20.787-04:002010-07-06T17:56:20.787-04:00aw, so sorry to hear about your weekend :(

It's complicated. The stress can make both of us prickly...or gimpy: when we saw both of my divorced parents in the same weekend last year, I woke up all puffed up around my left eye. He tends to get leg/back spasms during travel. We're quite a pair!<br /><br />And ah, yes, Yuppiville. There are elements of that in my area. One does become desensitized to it after awhile, although I sometimes can't help feeling a pang of inadequacy when I take my kids to some of their play dates...or at least wonder what the "fancy house" people think when they bring their kids to *our* house, which is tiny and old (not in a lovely antique way) with dog-loved-to-death carpet. But it's cozy, we have good neighbors and a gorgeous view, and I so appreciate that we're not living beyond our means, even if it means we're about 8 wheels short of a trailer. ;-)<br /><br />Anyway, glad you're home, and I'm hoping your doctor appointment goes well. Holding good thoughts and prayers for you!Pubsgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636089392777186992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-37232867683089106912010-07-06T16:26:28.717-04:002010-07-06T16:26:28.717-04:00Sorry you had a crummy week - praying next one is ...Sorry you had a crummy week - praying next one is better!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-90826908549771465702010-07-06T15:29:08.074-04:002010-07-06T15:29:08.074-04:00I am so sorry....I really am.I am so sorry....I really am.Live Simply- Live Wellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383356777633081642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347737109684156629.post-82423139945472996142010-07-06T14:25:01.760-04:002010-07-06T14:25:01.760-04:00That sucks about the infusion!!
