I suppose if I was in an emergency situation I could have it but my mg specialist said she has had some mishaps when her patients take both imuran+ partake in plasmapheresis. (not to scare you at all- yet death in two patients occured so she stated).

so having said that and being on a pretty high dose of imuran, I am supposed to request ivig when in crisis at the hospital over plasmapheresis for that reason.

I do believe plasmapheresis works quicker or it did in my case, but it didn't last as long for sure. maybe 2-3 weeks. ivig lasts me 3-4 weeks.

keep th questions coming!
