Hi don't let this be your last question. This is what makes this board so enjoyable.

I am on my 3rd series of treatments of IVIG. Due to my age (70) they space mine out more than normal. So far I have had some improvement in my double vision but that's about all. We are not sure if it was IVIG or Imuran that caused the improvement. I still can't see well enough to feel safe to drive. As for cost of IVIG I'M not real sure. My insurance covers the cost. I will ask my wife she sees the bills that my insurance was charged. I have my IVIG treatments done at a Charlotte infusion center which is quite cheaper than a hospital would charge. I have heard hospital charges up to $100,000 for a 5 treatment series (normal) of IVIG.

I'm pretty sure my Neuro is going to try the plasmapheresis next, so stay tuned and I will give details. Likely in Aug or Sep
Mike
