Default Plasmapheresis vs Ivig

Does someone know if it's possible to get them at the same time?
I get IvIG every 3 weeks and don't want to stop this. I am, however, still too weak and I never tried Plasmapheresis.
Something in me tells me it can't: plasmapheresis will wash out the ivig I got a few days earlier.

Another question for those who've had both: what is the effect on your MG?
IvIg for me, a big course of 5 days works so good. I love it. But it only works for 2 weeks and I crash down. So, unfortunatly, this is not a treatment option for me.
Every 3 weeks I get 1 day which helps me but not near as good as the big one.
