Hello Cindy,
The first one was a 'push' (that's the actual term for it) where a small-ish amount was slowly pushed into my vein by the attendent. Then, the next one was a drip, because alot more of the stuff was given. That took about an hour. I'm told that as the amount of liquid increases, I'll be sitting there for 1-1/2 hours. I imagine you'll need to get someone to care for your little one since you don't want to be running around attached to an IV drip or being stressed out during the proceedure.I'm finding that a 'healing reaction' is taking place in that some of my fibromyalgia symptoms are getting exacerbated - I'm having a flare the past few days and feel like crap, especially since I've also drastically reduced my AD. Along with the Myers Cocktail and extra magnesium and calcium, I'm getting 20g Vit C - a pretty huge amount, considering I'm mainlining it. It acts as a chelator of heavy metals, so some nasty stuff gets released and circulates before it moves out. It'll get better. I guess we're lucky to find doctors who are hep to this treatment, even though it's a huge financial commitment. What are you getting the treatments for? - Barbara
