Glenda, Tina also takes Benedryl when getting transfussions, it works well for her, especially for platelet transfussions because she has a tendency to get sick ( throw up ). It makes you sleepy, but its worth it. It is good you have made an appointment that way your doc can put in your order what you need and it will make the transfussion process less difficult. Some people have reactions and some dont, any kind of reaction should be reported, since you seem to be having these reactions I would keep an eye on your tempture after transfussions. We go thru this all the time, Im waiting on Tina right now at 3:00 am to come home from the hospitol, she had a feaver this afternoon and her mother took her the hospitol to get checked out so they gave her blood and platelets, we are prying for you, Liz praying or you and Bob to
