I'm doing okay - a little rough tonight. I came to the forum to help cheer me up, and it does! My doctor called me in to the hospital today for double IVIG treatment. It took 10 hours for 1 gram. Good news, my nurse was able to get my vein on the 2nd stick! But, the double IVIG is pretty rough. I had a bad allergy reaction after it was finished and broke out in hives all over. I had to take a mega dose of Benadryl which I don't handle well. Plus, I have an elephant sitting on my chest. But....I am really hopeful that after a couple of days, I am going to feel 100% better!!
Take care of yourself. I hope you and everyone else has a wonderful weekend.

Glad to hear that things are better for you even with the side effects. I had IVIG on Monday and Tuesday and am still having some side effects...but it's getting better. Hang in there and have a great weekend! Hope this note cheers you some!
