Default Hello Maurice!

Hey Maurice!

Here in SA, Texas, they give ME 400 Ml @ a time - 5 days in a row.

Once the PICC line is in place, it is SMOOTH sailing all the way...........

The best part is my headaches are now gone and my eyes look like they've had a "lift"..........

The cost per bottle is $10,000 us - I've had , to date, over $200,000 in IV IG, which is a joke, considering they get the IV IG through the red cross.......

On the positive side, I was able to get all of this done on an outpatient basis!!!

How are you doing today? Are you feeling OK?

Take care!
Erin

IVIG are performed during hospitalization, 3x200ml bottles/flasks per day (maybe 4/day if the injection speed has been increased in the absence of headaches), total stay at the hospital: 5 (or 4)days.
The cure normally consists of 15 (or 14?) bottles/flasks.
Paracetamol is given for headaches.
For your information, one flask costs 650 US$, so the cure costs 9750 US$ +hospital costs (totally covered by the State Social Security).
