I have been getting 2 IGIV's monthly for 18 months. I have never gotten any remarkable improvement like you did from the infusions.
I am better now but do not know what to attribute it to. IGIV's, cellcept or mestinon all while taking reducing ammounts of prednisone.
With the reaction you had from the infusions I would definetly try to do what
Juanitad suggested
Good luck;
Tony

i asked my neuro about doing ivig more frequently and maybe less like suggested and im not sure if it just because he only has a few cases of Mg patients and they seem to be doing really well. But he told me that it is best to wait 3 to 4 weeks between infusions. and in his words " i don't have any patients that need one monthly" so i am wondering if maybe i need to find a new neuro who might be more willing to be more aggresive seens how i am so young, it seems to be one of the only things to work really well for me...and i can't afford to cut back on work ( luckly my husband is military so the infusions and home health care are covered)...
