Last round, I felt bad and weak, and then 4 days after the IVIG felt like superwoman for about two weeks! it was pretty amazing.. anyhow I was just curious if anyone else feels this way?

Yes, I reached a point where I asked my neurologist if the IVIG I was getting was extracted from the blood of MG patients.
After a few months we both reached the conclusion that in balance it caused more harm than good. I too had a few very good days, after each round, but it wasn't worth the price.
I hope you have a better experience with it.
Sometimes changing the brand of the IVIG may help. (in my case it didn't, but for some it does make a difference).
