Do you normally get an infusion 7 days a week, or is it so many days on and so many off?

Thanks, appreciate it!

Hey Keltyl,

I agree with feelfit , it really depends on your doc and your situation. You may want to start fast with heavy dosages (7 days a week, full strength), or slow with a lighter dose (pulsing at half strength).

Or you may begin slow and work up... or the opposite! There is more than one way to skin a tick! [Smile] Just do what you and your doc feel is best for your particular situation.

Thanks guys, just thinking it might cost me less than I thought. Knowing my doc, it won't.
