I've got to ask some prelim. questions? Do you know what brand of IG you were given? Do you know the rates it was given to you? Did you take any antihistamines or tylenol before hand? And HOW long did these infusions take? Lastly...how much 'juice' did you get? THese all come into play but it sure sounds as IF your neuro had NOT read the 'prescribing information' and all the possibles for your reaction.
This is one BASIC outline of what and how IG should be given:

Aseptic meningitis is NOT FUN! At all! I'd gotten a headache from some infusions? [BIG TIME] And it turned out to be a poorly prepared batch of IG.
IF you know what brand was or should be given to you? Be ABSOLUTELY SURE That brand IS given to you. Substitutions aren't as easily allowed by FDA laws regarding 'blood products' [which this is?] and they are VERY specific that substitutions aren't acceptable ...unless certain procedures are followed. Since no one knows that? It's often abused. There is a lot to learn? Ask questions? Learn what to ask and how to complain.
Those headaches are definite BAD things! I can't find a good word to describe them other than 'blinding' and 'awful'. These are NOT adequate words! Ask away ask a many year veteran and I'll plug you into others too. I'm not shy. Hugs etc. 's - j
