Smile plasmapheresis and ivig

Something in me tells me it can't: plasmapheresis will wash out the ivig I got a few days earlier.

Another question for those who've had both: what is the effect on your MG?
IvIg for me, a big course of 5 days works so good. I love it. But it only works for 2 weeks and I crash down. So, unfortunatly, this is not a treatment option for me.
Every 3 weeks I get 1 day which helps me but not near as good as the big one.
Just had both in the hospital, couple of weeks ago. Ivig did no good. Plasmapheresis helped a lot, but know how long it will last. Doctors told me everyone is different in length of results.
Wish you much luck.
