I just know I don't have any such problems and I have been doing this for 10 years.
Good luck!

Thank you.
Never knew it was even a possability to get it more often.
Ivig has a chance of your blood viscosity to go up, so gives a chance of blood clots, strokes, heart attacks etc. I was told this sometimes happens.
This scared me, but you even know people who get (like you) 2 gms/kg every month? For more than a few months?
I'm still getting 0.8 gms every month, but there seems so be some room for experiment. Thank you very much, I'll discuss it with my doc.
