Drink lots of water before and after your infusion.

i get the same thing...normaly the day after the infusion. i am going for my 5th next week. My gi told me to take tylenol the night before and the day of to help side step the headaches.. My hair has been falling out too, not sure if it's from the remi or the old meds i was on. Gi seems to thing it's from the old meds. Good luck to you and keep us updated

I am losing hair too... someone on here suggested i go buy a bottle of Biotin, I did and I can't say if it is helping the hair loss yet but my nails and skin have shown improvement. Prednisone was making my skin very thin!

Bellecea74 alot of our meds cause our hair to shed. Adding in some Folic Acid will help to slow it down. I recently added Folic Acid into my med mix, and it has helped alot. Takes a bit to kick in, but it does help. As for the shingles, were you exposed to someone with chicken pox? Shingles tend to occur in adults who have already had the chicken pox. Do talk to your doc about that. Hugs!
