I have only had 1 infusion 2 weeks ago. I had quite a bit of GI problems for the first couple days. I also had a severe headache that lasted about 4 days. I need feed back/replies on emotional outburst. I have cried more than not since my infusion and need to know if anyone else has expeirenced this or if it is caused from something else.
