I have "another" dumb question - infusions #1 some nausea, tired, I'm thinking hey not so bad. But then I reada few other posts and people talking about 2nd and 3rd and how bad they felt . Was i doing a rainbow and puppies moment when I thought it would be the same way each time?

Glad the first one went well. It is cumulative the more treatments you receive. Keep a log of everything no matter how insignificant and tell the dr. Don't skip any pre or post meds as they help with the side effects. Move as much as you can by walking etc. and get rest. Eat small healthy meals and cut out all sugar, seed/vegetable oils, and gluten/ grains. Stay hydrated and add minerals like Liquid IV to your water. I found it helpful to fast on treatment day. If you feel like you are getting dehydrated ask your Dr for an infusion of extra fluids. I actually asked for extra during every appointment because I knew I wouldn't be able to drink enough and sometimes got more in-between.
