“when you do an NAD infusion they'll offer to give it to you over the course of three hours, two hours, one hour... the faster you infuse the more painful it is and if you don't take the zran, the anti-nausea medication, you feel like you want to vomit, you feel irritable but then when it's done, you definitely feel better.”
