I'm sorry that I do not know the size for IV IG cuz' I've only ever had a PICC line put in me. If you are afraid of needles and don't want stick after stick, perhaps you can ask about that option - especially since they will want to do lab work as well. Once the line is in, it's smooth sailing
, and I'm the biggest chicken there is when it comes to needles.
You'll probably love IV IG - I know in my case it was truly a life saver - I've had 3 treatments for 5 days straight and felt like a champ once they were done - MUCH better than plasmaphoresis and MUCH less invasive - in my opinion - GOOD LUCK and let us all know how you are doing!
Take care!

I have heard varying reports about what is the minimum size needle that can be used for IVIG. Does anybody know the actual facts on this?
Thanks for the help.
