Following on from my post introducing myself and my symptoms etc, I thought I would just post a quick update. Yesterday, I sat through 5 hours of various drips, and then came home with a 24 hour pump/drip.
I have been dreading side effects, but I can honestly say that I feel fine. The only slight thing that I have noticed is that I feel a bit shivery when I go away from my armchair. That apart, everything seems the same as it was before the treatment.
Early days I know, but I am encouraged.
