First infusion
My first infusion was a week ago. It went way better then I expected it to. I go into the office and was still not impressed with the nurse maybe she was having a off day who knows. She could not find a vein. She didn't try to stick me I think she was scared to. She ended up calling seine from across the street at a endoscopy center to come and stick me. The lady that came was so nice and had a great personality. She got me in ine stick and I was thrilled. Once I was set up she would come in ever 30 mins and take my blood pressure and temp. It was freezing in there and they had no blankets. My mom went out to a store close by and ended up buying me one... She's the best. Another thing that annoyed me was no wifi. I would have been able to watch netflix while I was there. Ohh well. For the most part it was horiable. I was extremely tired that afternoon and came home and slept. The day after I was still very tired. I didn't not feel good for that day and then on Saturday. I was nauseated and got sick once. I honestly don't think it was a side effect from the infusion but a mix of the fact I ate way to much ( my eyes were bigger then my stomach) and just the UC in general. Sunday I felt decent. Ianaged all weekend not to take a nap. I wanted to try and get back on track. By Tuesday I felt almost like my old self. A well later and I'm still feeling good. I'm not having bad stomach pains and cramps like I was. I still have some but very mimnial. I also am not as tired as I was. I no longer go into the bathroom at work and close my eyes for a couple minutes. Hopefully next week will go just as well.
