My neurologist said that the sub-q is too new and hasn't been proven in long term trials to be as effective as IVIg for Myasthenia...

I still don't love my port...it is quite irritating still. The wire in my neck seems to be in just the wrong spot when I am trying to go to sleep. I'm skinny and have a bony chest so it is quite prominent and just under my skin. I prefer it to the 5 needle pokes and infiltrated Iv's though.
