Default Same Experience

Gabe,
Sorry to hear that you had such a terrible reaction. I had a similar reaction to IVIG last week. I typically tolerate it quite well, small headache some quiziness..nothing more. During last weeks infusion I started to get muscle aches, shivering chills, spiked a temp and had nausea. I did pre-med with Benedryl, tylenol and the nurse actually gave me IV Benedryl during the infusion. Not quite sure why it happened, the pharmasist thought it might be a lot issue with the IVIG. I get all my IVIG treatments at home so at least I did not have to travel after the infusion. Hang in there Gabe, Im comforted by the fact that this is one of the first bad reactions I have had...hopefully this was a rate or lot issue.
