Alan's last IVIG was May 2nd. He had the blood test this past Wednesday.

His next infusion is June 2nd. His next blood test is scheduled for June 16th. (or thereabouts).

I would think that the doctor knows that Alan is undergoing IVIG.

I also read that people are given IVIG for low platelet count.j

I don't think having IVIG would LOWER his platelet count, but what do I know?

But I really do think it's a side effect from the Plavix and Aspirin.

All the other results (except for the lipids) were perfectly fine.

We shall see next month what the next blood tests will reveal.

I'll run the whole IVIG thing with Dr. Fred.

Thanks much.
