Hi,
I had this treatment a few months back, in March.
I got my infusion on a Friday morning, and started having flu-like symptoms on Friday night; they lasted all weekend, through Sunday afternoon. By Monday morning I was 100% out of it, and never got any symptoms again. When I say flu-like, I mean chills and muscle and bone pain. On Saturday I was on the couch all day with ibuprofen or tylenol or whatever they recommended -can't remember. The pain moved from one bone or limb to the next. Very weird -but short-lived. You can do this. Just don't plan on running a marathon or throwing a party the day after the infusion, because you may not feel up to it.
A few weeks later, I realized some vague back pain I used to have had disappeared, and I realized my bones felt stronger. Eg my arms when doing push ups, my legs when running, my back when swimming butterfly -I am kind of active.
Hope other will chime in with their own experiences, I am curious to read them.
Best,
