Default IVIG: what happens when the effect is gone.

So, here I am again with another question... About ivig this time.

I want to know what happens with your MG when you do a 5-day round of IVIG only once. If it works, and you're less weak but you don't do it as a chronic treatment, the MG weakness probably gets back in weeks / months.
My question is; will the severity of the weakness be around the same it was before the IVIG, or has someone experienced getting worse after the effect has worn out?

And, to add: did you only get IVIG or was it combined with an prednisone IV?

Thanks again for any help or answers or whatever. I'm really thankful for you all

(For MG I'm currently on mestinon and prednisone only).
