Default Hi daverep!

I have never had a bad reaction, but am given benadryl and tylenol before they start.......were you given any of those things?

Unfortunately some people just don't do well on IV IG, but they do respond to the plasma exchange....you may want to ask about that....

Hope you feel better really really soon!
Big hugs!
Erin

What I still have is one or two times a day very intense feelings in my upper chest, almost like fluttering or like I have had 5 monster drinks. Anyone else ever had this and in general what were your post procedure results or experience. Thanks
