2 reasonsons to hydrate before IVIG:
-You can really avoid the headaches an flu-like symptoms a lot better
-It's a lot easier for the nurses to stick you with a needle the first time around.
How I stay hydrated before IVIG:
-Drink enough water the night before the infusion to get you up and going to the bathroom once or twice and while you're up drink some more water.
-Drink a lot of water upon awakening
-Drink or eat some very water-rich foods leading up to the infusion, juices, smoothies and very water rich foods are paramount in staying hydrated before infusions. You don't want to be eating dehydrating foods when you want to be hydrated!
