I am checking in because I got a meningeal head-neck ache after my 6th IVIG treatment for MG. The headache is mild but has lasted 3 weeks. They though I would not have trouble so they did the infusions at full speed at home. Now I think they should do it slowly with lots of hydration from now on. I didn't realize it could get as bad as you got it. Boy, I want to stay out of hospitals. I was in one and a nursing home for 2.5 months. I think I know more than the doctors by now. I wish you the best. Don't be afraid to ask critical questions and keep them on their toes. Get them to take their time talking to you and giving you all the details. I got a new laptop in the hospital and began to read the medical literature. It really helped.

Note: "aseptic" means without a discernible infection. Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
