Anyone else this sensitive to IVIG?
So, I'm getting my ivig now.. and I have had aspetic meningitis 3 times in the past 2 years... once really bad (before we knew about rate control etc).. and twice milder (once when the nurse programmed the rate wrong, I woke up from benadryl nap and it was going at 210!.. and the other time when we tried a slightly higher rate)
So, we couldn't remember if they ramped me up every 15 minutes or 30.. so we did the first one 15 min.. and i started getting a headache.. and temp started going up to almost 100 already.. that quickly... I'll get the chest pain, headache and neck pain so i know immediately when it starts to happen.. soo, not sure if this is common, or if i'm just unique in that way!! Just curious! we have since slowed the rate down.. so I'll be sitting here ALL DAY, but that's ok!
