My first round was a series of 5 infusions. I got a couple of weeks out of it. So, 3 days from 2 infusions would not be out of the realm of possibility. The bad news is you didn't get a lot of improvement. The good news is you now have two "treatment failures" (prednisone and IVIG) under your belt, which will help you to access some of the more "fancy" treatments like Rituxan or Soliris if needed down the line.

It would be interesting to see how you'd do with a full 5 day loading dose. Plasmapharesis might also get you better relief, but again, it's only good for a few weeks as well. Personally I've never tried plasmapharesis, but have tried (and failed) almost every other treatment.
