My 20 yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with MG. Monday she started IVIg treatments. After the treatment on day one she felt extremely tired and spent the rest of the day in bed. She also noticed that her symptoms were a bit worse. After day two treatment, the same thing. Her MG symptoms (weak tongue, nasal voice, ocular effects, generalized muscle weakness) seem more pronounced and her mestinon doesn't correct them as quickly. It's not terrible, but we thought she would feel better not worse. This is day three and she has to complete 5 treatments.

Question: is this typical with IVIg in MG patients? worsening symptoms?

Otherwise, she hasn't had any side effects (like headaches).

Thanks for your help,
