  • BurdenSlight
  • Slow my MS progress
Advice/Tips
Have injections give slowly, like MRI contrast mediums. Reduces the nausea that can happen. Worked for me after tossing my cookies once. Then was told about the speed of the delivery of the injection. Had it given slowly and no problem.
Specific side-effects
sick to my stomach for a day or two
tiredness
Burden
Really just going to the infusion center and getting the treatment. I had to get the anti-nausea injection given real slow or it caused nausea.

  • AdherenceAlways
  • BurdenNone
  • Slow my MS progress
Advice/Tips
Just make sure to be able to lie down and not do anything for the rest of the day. I take it very easy the day after, I have been tired for a full day afterwards. It could be from the anti nausea medications I take before the infusion.
Specific side-effects
tiredness
