If it's the same amount on your 3day infusion each day as on your 5day. Example 5day= 25g total of 125 over 5 days. But on your 3 day your still only getting 25g total of 75g, you wouldn't have as much response from it. I think the trick is to give you the full therapeutic dose on a regular schedule.
My dose starts wearing off around 3 weeks and by 6 it's gone. So by doing it every 4 we are keeping it going, and very very slowly I'm seeing slight improvement from the last time. If I miss my dose or wait for 6 weeks I start backsliding very quickly and it's like starting over again. Hope you are feeling better and strong!

Hi, Jess. I'm a little confused about my IVIg dose. I know that I receive 300 ml. a day. I'm not sure how many grams that is. The first two times, I had this dose for five days. The third time I had the same daily dose but only for three days. My doctor brought up the possibility of infusing the five-day dose over three days, but we decided not to since I'm prone to migraines.
