Hi. Welcome to the forum.

Why don't you call the hospital directly, possibly the dialysis unit if they still have one, and ask if they still do plasmapheresis there or at a local clinic?

Both plasmapheresis and IVIG come with risks and one isn't necessarily "quicker" than the other. It depends upon what you need. It may also be an issue of cost.

I hope you can get the details worked out and get some more help.

Annie
