Default or maybe the chair was reserved for someone else??/

The infusion clinic I get my IVIG in is very small (4 chairs) and even though they really try to schedule everyone far enough apart, there are times there are people sitting the lobby waiting for their turn.

I can tolerate 200 pretty well, but I know there are others who cannot go over 100. They do schedule extra time for those individuals.

Maybe they'll give you more time in the appointment calendar next time since you can't tolerate it very fast.

Just a suggestion, it helps if you premedicate with benedryl and tylenol (or your pain med of choise)

Good luck - I don't know what I would do without my IVIG - it has been a life saver.
