Jana- what happens when you get IV ivig?
My breathing TANKS when I'm on my back. I suspect it is due to a weakness of my diaphram??? I worry that even IF I'm sedated with twilight sleep and on my back, I won't be able to catch my breath. I really do NOT want to be intubated.

I got aseptic meningitis from my one and only round of IVIG. I was sick for more than a month afterwards. Doc agrees that we do NOT want to repeat that.
