Default IVIG & aseptic meningitis

I'm curious if anyone has had confirmed aseptic meningitis due to IVIG (immediately after infusion)? If so, did you ever try to do infusions again?

I ask because I did IVIG for 11 years. After a short break to fight insurance, I restarted in 2007 and got aseptic meningitis on the second of the loading doses. My CSF white cell count was over 700, so certainly not a mild case.

I have just found out I have ganglionitis and IVIG might prove helpful to slow progression. Of course, I'm hesitant about trying it again after that incident, but might give it consideration if I knew others had successfully restarted infusions after having aseptic meningitis.

I tried to research cases where it was restarted, but no luck.

It will probably not be an option, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
