See my post in your other thread.

Call your GI's office in the morning, ask if you can get the blood tests done before getting the infusion, and ask if you can put off the infusion for a few days until you get the blood test results.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this issue?

Ask for premedications of tylenol and an antihistamine (claritin or benadryl). If you're worried about joint pains and have a history of them as an infusion reaction then ask about IV solumedrol (a steroid) as a premed.

I think she is saying the joint pain does not occur until week 3, the week before she is due for another infusion, so I do not think pre-meds would help. How did your infusion go?
