Im getting Ivig now one year. Every 6 weeks, 3 days each session.
Im completely off mestinon, and since I improved tremendously with ivig, my neuro never went ahead with prednisone as he first thought he would put me on.
Everyone seems to have different reactions to ivig, but for me, its like giving popeye spinach.
