Is IVIG a permanent thing? Just wondering what I signed on for here & can’t seem to get a straight answer from the medical team aside from a wait & see approach. I started in April, am about 60% better, but every time I have an infusion, I feel completely miserable for about 4 days, kind of like having the flu. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience ---

I started igiv tratament last year în august. And now, after 5 treatments, every 2-3 month, I feel much better. Complementary I take medrol 16 mg every day and make sport recuperation every day. ---

Well join the IVIG club, for myself I’ve been under going IVIG for seven years now and I still get sick or bitchy, whatever you want to call it. I’ve tried 3 weeks, 5 weeks, and ended up on every four weeks.
