Advice & Tips
Just be positive about the drug, that it's for you and what you need and want. Positive thinking can help more then one thinks. I'm looking forward to my next infusion next month. August '08 was my first infusion and I was happy with the TOUCH program. Was a very relaxing experience.

Advice & Tips
Make sure you drink plenty of fluids. Ask your Dr. if he/she recommends taking something prior to infusion. And do try and give it three months as I did and if it truly isn't working, then stop. No drug is worth feeling horrible for.
