It's impossible for me to tell, Brooke. I'm extremely sensitized to pred. Each 1mg acts like 10mg in me, so the hit of 100mg solumedrol (equiv 150mg oral pred) at each infusion is like pulse steroids to me. (Pulse steroids= 1,000mg solumedrol= 1,250mg oral pred= the highest dose of pred they can give)

As far as I know 100mg solumedrol is the standard dose when getting rtx infusions.

The infusion nurses did tell me most of the other patients (Weggies and non-Weggies) getting rtx are wiped out like me. I see my Wegs doc this Wednesday and plan to ask him about this.
