First you gotta flush the line with saline before you do anything else

So some of it is saline

I had to administer my own IV antibiotics at home when I had sepsis. Had a pick line in my arm for a month.

Mostly sugar and a small amount of salt. Sometimes they might add a little bit of potassium, if you need it.

But if you’re feeling “like a million bucks”, they might have given you a pain medication of some kind. Were you in any pain?

Tbh my thought was that they were dehydrated and feel better due to the iv. Just a thought though. I’m not diagnosing.

If you feel that much better and you just had a regular IV fluids, you were probably super dehydrated beforehand.

@sweetpotatopie lol! I will never stop being surprised at how much better I feel when I get properly hydrated after a while without.

Hey have you ever tried the hydration iv powder sticks at the store. Those are amazing and help keep me out of the ER from dehydration. @Ninjastar

They are a godsend. I occasionally get it into my head that they are bad for me because they have salt and sugar, then I start feeling bad for “no reason” until I finally have one and remember that salt and sugar are actually necessary. I somehow never permanently learn.

I might start buying pedialite. I feel super satiated after drinking it. My brother in law had pedialite popsicles. Idk what it is but they hit the spot.
