i did much better with the last dose of IVIG yesterday but still had trouble walking at the end of it, just a bit shaky and unsteady for a couple of hours and then i came around. but i felt much better throught the process. i requested the same nurse who knew the situation from the day before and she went very slow, kept the rate at 80 the whole time and it made al the difference. i really did well on the first three days so i just think maybe i got a funny fourth batch or it was just too close together. . .

tnalawson--my dose is 10% in a 300ml bag. the manufacturer is gammunex IVIG for 5 days every 2 weeks right now. i am unsure of the conversion when you are saying 400mg??? they start slow, based on weight and then go up every 15-30 minutes as you tolerate it. . . . good luck with your husband's treatment. i really hope it helps!
