Pre meds?

Hi there,

I remember being woozy after Plt transfusions. Do they give her anything before hand? Some places do and some don't. Does she feel the same way during PRBC transfusions?

How about the hospital food? Sometimes the soggy pizza that they serve can have that effect. And then there's being nervous because you're new to all of this.

In any case, make sure you tell your infusion nurse about any changes ASAP!
I'm sure they've gone over that with you.

Ryan
