Default Plasma Pheresis

I'm interested in hearing from any of you who have received Plasma Pheresis for your MG. Is it done inpatient or outpatient? How long does it take? Is it considered risky? What was the recovery time i.e. time away from work? I've had three IVIG treatments and each one was less effective than the last. My Neuro is telling me that the only bullet left in the gun is Plasa Pheresis. Any info. you can provide would be much appreciated.
