As far as dosage on the IVIG, my understanding is the normal dosage is 2.0 gms per kilogram of weight per month. After discussing with my neuro, I spread mine out over the month and get .4/gms per kg once weekly. This means I go in weekly, but it does a better job of managing my mg. You could also possibly do .4/gms per kg for 2 days every 2 weeks, or whatever works for you. My neuro is willing to work with me on the timing as long as it equals out to 2.0 gms/kg monthly.
Hope this helps.

I get 800 mg/kg every month.
2 mg/kg is the big one (5 days 400 mg/kg/day) and I was told you can't have this too often.
It may be a possibility to have it more often?
I am craving to feel like those few precious days after a 5 days course.
