dr. prescribed ivig but scared of possible stroke, renal failure, asceptic menin...
My husband's neurologist put in an order for IVIG for what seems to be CIDP.
His neurologist mentioned that there is a small possibility of a stroke, renal failure, or aseptic meningitis.
Neurologist also reassured that the chances of one of these serious side effect were very rare. All blood work was done and neurologist said everything look fine and to move forward with IVIG.
The decision is up to me and I am scared that my husband may have one of the aforementioned outcomes. Does anyone know of anyone who had one of these adverse complications?
I am so stressed out with worry, I don't know what to do. (also I need to direct my husband in his decision making because he has Alzheimer's (moderate stage.) Thanks for your input
