Confused IVIG, Side effects and Diabetes

Hi,

I'm getting pretty desperate here cause of my symptoms and because doctors doesn't seem to know/care/too busy...

Background briefly...
I've had Diabetes (type 1) for over 20 years and was recently diagnosed with some very rare autoimmune disease affecting short-term memory. Because of that new founding, I've had two rounds of IVIG (Nanogam) and Cortison (NatriumChlorid Viaflo, or something). The second round was about two months ago.

The problem is, that just recently I have started to feel really cold. Like freezing. I read somewhere that that the cold may be a problem while on the infusion but didn't find any suggestions that it should be a problem AFTER the infusion? Again, I had no problems while I was receiving the product. Didn't feel ill/cold at all. Now, after seven weeks or so, I feel like I'm freezing to death. And then when put more clothes on, I start to sweat. So whether I'm sweating or I'm freezing.

At the same time my need for insulin has raised dramatically. Although the need for insulin raised naturally because of cortison while I was on the infusion but after infusions were done it quickly settled down to a normal state. Now it seems like it has gone back up even thou I'm not havingh any cortison product???

Is these probably because of IVIG? Some withdrawal symptom which hopefully will slowly go away? And for maybe how long does this last??? Or should I still try go to doctor for this... Basically asking here if any of you have a clue whether these are something to be worry about.

I appriciate for your answers!
