I had the second IVIG yesterday, 30 grams of Gammagard, with no problems. It only took two hours, which is almost as fast as subcutaneously infusing 10 grams each week at home. A very easy process for me.

I've been on the Medrol since before the first IVIG, on December 19.

My third IVIG is scheduled for February 13, and I wonder if my Immunologist expects me to continue on the Medrol through that IVIG?

I've sent her a message through the Duke system, since I will be out of Medrol by February 6, and certainly can't just stop after the last 4mg dose.

It still has me feeling better than I have in years. And the IVIG has kept me completely free of infections since I started on IgG infusions at the end of August.

Perhaps the improvement in my basic health with be enough to offset weaning away from the Medrol when the time comes!

Staying tuned.

Hugs, Elaine
