That's a good idea to contact them. It could be an allergic reaction to one of the units. Do you get pre-meds for red cells? John would have to take an antihistamine for all blood products. He got hives from red cells once and from then on, they wanted him to be pre-medicated for them. I don't think he reacted to all red cell transfusions but since they couldn't predict which ones would cause a reaction, they wanted him pre-medicated all the time.
