I understand your concerns. How do you feel now? Do you still have a fever?
I assume that the 101 cutoff is a hospital protocol? And an algorithm doesn't represent all patients!
At the very least, call your internist's office and your neuro to discuss what happened. Internists are key when things like this happen. They can far more quickly help patients than specialists can.
Did you know that only a small percentage of what is going on out there is the flu? Very interesting studies on that. Some are becoming ill from the flu vaccine itself.
The infusion rate is key. However, reactions can occur in spite of a slow rate.
I just hope you will have a positive end result from all of this! AND that future IVIG treatments will be less severe, or nonexistent.
