Re: Hi I'm new

Thanks for the welcome, it's good to know I'm not the only one facing this. I have been monitoring my bp all week and it definitely drops about 48 hour post infusion (from 155/88 to 131/75). I talked to my infusion nurse and she is going to work on a deca reduction for the next infusion. So we will see! Thanks all for the helpful advice.
