I had my first IVIG treatment yesterday. Everything went very well. The nurses were real sweet. The infusion center bought my wife and I lunch. They had TV, WI-FI, CD player, lounge chairs. And a snack room with about anything you would want. This was at the CMC infusion center in Charlotte. My local hospital is not equipped for IVIG but Charlotte infusion center is only 30 minutes away.

The actual infusion took about 2 hours. I was given an un-medicated dose my Neuro wanted to see how I did on that. They started out slow and checked on me about every 20 minutes and increased the dose. As of this morning I don’t have any side effects nor do I see any change in my symptoms. I have another treatment this morning so we left the shunt in my arm so all we have to do is plug in. The nurse said I could see some changes by the weekend. I have 2 more treatments next week. Got my fingers crossed that I can see normal again.
