Default IVIG vs. plasmapheresis
Could someone who's had both tell me the differences? The IVIG only lasted me two weeks, so I'm wondering about plasmapheresis if I tank again. How many days does it last? Do you need a port instead of an IV? How is that put in--under just local anesthesia or what? And how long does it stay in? Thanks.
