Home health IVIG

I recently went to my neuro . I ask about home health and something to stir the rashes on my shoulders between weekly IVIG . She changed my meds and refered me to home health. My insurance approved it and is sending my medication out this week for a infusion next week. This will be so nice . I am setting my chair up infront of a window with a view.

I'm so glad, Robert. I hope it makes you feel better soon.

I have 42 hours, in six days each month of hospital-bed infusions. My view, Haleakala, a 10,000 foot-high, dormant volcano, the Pacific Ocean and central Maui. Lucky in a way, I guess, but if I could not have CIDP, I'd settle for a view of a brick wall in the worst urban city environment... maybe Detroit.

Good luck, Robert!

Esteban to be subject to this disease is a sentence . It doesn’t matter really how good or bad the view is only that we remain on the top side of six foot under . ; ) I too would give allot to not have to deal with this. My infusion center fouled up with my insurance providers pharmacy so the called and said yesterday’s infusion cancelled . I am glad we had been working on home health.

I'm getting 40 grams/day on 3 consecutive days. I want a slam-dunk dosage instead of seperated days, i.e. M-W-F. The last time I tried 3 consecutivedays, at a fast infusion rate, I was stricken with autonomic hyperflexia and ended up in the hospoital for 5 days.

Yes, seven hours, but I get breakfast, lunch and dinner, and hourly hula shows from the Tahitian nurses.

Also, I want to add that swimming for an hour yesterday listed me, once again, out of weakness, stiffness and some sensory dysfunctions,

WOW, how much immunoglobulin you getting that takes that long?? I get 80g every three weeks, and it only takes four hours to infuse it. I mean that's 7 hours each time you go in for your infusion.

The infusion center I used to go to seldom started on time and had to restart equipment allot so there was allot of down time. I I am hopeful that the home health will
Be able to start and keep it going huero says a max rate of 100. So I’m not sure what it will really take.
