????: This is a significant side effect that your doctor needs to know about. One might surmise that being especially well-hydrated before the infusion might be helpful, but your doctor will want to know about this before deciding to proceed with more infusions. Be sure you discuss this with him/her before the next infusion...the reaction might be more severe next time. Good wishes:)
