Advice & Tips
I used to have a home health nurse come, but now I go to the infusion lab at the local hospital. Helps with a nice couple days of energy....I like that :) It's no trouble since both of my kids are in elementary school and the hospital has a very flexible scheduling policy. I can schedule a month ahead on a schoolday morning.

Advice & Tips
Drinking liquids before blood work then before infussions seems to help the needles find a vein. Since it's been over 2 years now there is some vein problems, popped, slide over and black and blue spots. The interaction with the nurses, staff and aids, let alone other M.S. ers is the unexpected delightfull benefits!
