I agree with enbloc.
I think you need to re-evaluate the benefits if the IVIG. If you are not getting benefits, to offset the side effects caused by it and the then use of the IV Medrol... then stopping it for a while might be worth it.
Could you use an oral form of Medrol in smaller doses? I'd ask the doctor about that. Say, starting a couple of days before the IV and for 5 days after? 4mg once a day may help. Some IVIG patients do this with Medrol instead of the high IV Solu-Medrol dosing. After reading many posts on our MS board, I've seen people post that they cannot tolerate the SoluMedrol at all when used for MS attacks.
Using Big Pharma interventions often brings a cascade of problems. The drugs themselves cause problems, and also things like steroids, act on our metabolisms and deplete many nutrients, like potassium for starters. (also calcium, Vit D, folic acid, selenium, Vit C, zinc and magnesium)
