Hi, and welcome. I have read here many times that with IVIg, it helps to be very well hydrated (before and during), to avoid getting a headache. If you do get a headache, ask them to run the IV more slowly.
This disease can be scary, especially when you have little ones to take care of. I hope you will have some help. Please don't hesitate to ask here if you have more questions.
