First infusion?

[Allegra]

Hello all,
Starting first infusion tomorrow morning and I was just wondering what to expect? I've been inpatient nearly a week now so I wanna see some improvement! Is it immediate or kind of worse before it gets better sort of thing?

Expect it to be pretty long for your 1st few infusions. They put it in at a lower dose rate to start off with and most probably monitor you for an hour afterwards.

It all depends on the person. I felt like I was getting better after my 2nd one but it took about 6 infusions before I felt much better. After a year I then went on to 6 weekly (from 8 weekly) and have been feeling great ever since

Ah thanks so much! They don't tell me anything here!

It varies, some people will begin to feel better quite rapidly but for most it takes getting the past the induction phase.
