I think I recall SheltieMom that you are elderly--75? Or am I wrong?
If I am recalling this accurately, some doctors hesitate to use IVIG in the elderly because with increased age, there is increased risk of stroke. Even if you are not in the elderly class, any cardiovascular risk factors or high platelet counts would also be a barrier to receiving IVIG.
So the doctors may hold it back unless you are severely impaired or paralyzed (like with GBS).
