The initial treatments were inpatient and I had no side effects. By day 4 I had nausea, fatigue, aches, bloodshot eyes and ringing in the ears. The nausea subsided, but other effects remained.

Within an hour of the first treatment,I had convulsions that lasted for 20 minutes after they shut off the IV. Once it was restarted, it took 12 hours to get the medication in. All of the following treatments I had nausea, headache, itching, warm red arms that lasted for days. Unfortunately, it did not help in saving my pancreas. I would still have done it again to try for the desired result, you just don't know until you try.
