Hi Barbara! ;)!
Hi Barbara! IV IG is pooled plasma from 1000 donors. First they either insert your PICC line ( I highly recommend that one) or start your IV. Then they take your temp, blood pressure, etc and start the procedure. They start it out slow and increase it every 15 min until they reach the max....whatever your max is.
IV IG is very expensive - 10,000-15,000 per bottle, but insurance does take care of it if you have an aggressive neuro.....
I get mine done for 5 days in a row @ 500mL per bottle. It is a great pick me up!
Hope this helps a bit!
Big hugs!
Erin
