Default Plasmapheresis

Hi my name is Sandra.
I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis in 2015. I take Mestinon,Cellcept and get IVIG infusion every 3 weeks. I am still weak all the time. My neurologist mention during my last visit with her, that we might have to think about plasmapheresis.
I have done research on plasmapheresis, but I still have questions.
1. How long will I have to do this for?
2. How often will I have to do the treatment?
3. Will I have to have a port put in?
4. Will I still get my IVIG infusions?
If you have any information you could share with me, I would greatly appreciate it.
