I've been on IVIG for 6 months now. The loading dose back in October 2013 gave me flu-like symptoms and severe headache. I haven't had that happen since. I take benadryl and tylenol prior to infusion, and they start me out slow and work up the rate. Last month I got a small blood clot in my arm next to the infusion site. It was gone within 3 weeks, no big deal. The scariest thing about that was that I thought they might take away the IVIG.

IVIG gave me my life back. I have energy, have reduced prednisone from 30 to 10 mg per day, and feel amazing.

Best wishes to you, and hope you can get to feeling better!
