I have prescribed a three-day course of IVIg-less IVIg for myself, to be administered at home without the IVIg. In other words, I am confining myself to my bed and easy chair for three days, with only as much up-and-around as I could manage if I were pulling along an IV pole.

I am sure that the enforced rest of getting infusions isn't the only benefit I've received from real IVIg, but I think it may be a part of it. So.

I realize most people aren't in my happy position of being able to declare a three-day rest like this. I'm counting my blessings (and recruiting my children).
