Hi Mel & Billye!
Yes, I'm lucky my dr is on top of things. I do think the IVIG is a blood product. I too wondered if that's how I got the West Nile.....but we do have a gazzillion mosqitoes here with all the rain and every time I go outside I come back in scratching because I've been bitten....so guess we'll never know for sure.
I just can't seem to get well. I've been fighting diarrhea for months. The dr. has given me lots of different meds to try to get rid of it. I kept thinking it was my IBS causing it. Finally today he said he thinks I have Ecoli! He said you can get it anywhere when you eat out. I hate to even think I got it that way! So there's a new medication for Ecoli called Xifaxan that you take 3 times a day for 5 days that's suppose to get rid of it....so I have my fingers crossed! If it's not one thing it's another!!!
