HI BP...glad you found the forum.

I have not been on pred or IVIG - but my understanding is that the common drug combo with pred is Cellcept. You take both drugs until the Cellcept really kicks in (about 6 months) and then wean off of the pred.

I wouldn't think there would be much benefit in concurrent use of pred and IVIG if you didn't respond well IVIG in the first place, but then I don't have first hand experience with either.

Some folks have had success with plasmapheresis when IVIG hasn't helped them. Has your neuro discussed pros and cons of various treatments with you?
