Here is another one:
Pubmed ID: 16391392
Clin Rev Allergy Immunol. 2005 Dec;29(3):173-84.
Intravenous immunoglobulin: adverse effects and safe administration.
Orbach H, Katz U, Sherer Y, Shoenfeld Y.

The authors say that slow infusion rate and hydration can reduce the likelihood of most side effects, including aceptic meningitis.

I talked to my doctor about extra hydration and she ordered 1 liter of saline solution to be given intravenously every day after the IVIg infusion. I am just curious to know, did your doctors give you any IV fluids?

It also can increase in patients with migraines (which I do not have a history of).

It's something to think about and discuss with my neurologist (he's working me in this Friday). We may just go back to the high dose IV methylprednisolone or Cellcept to treat the Sjogren's in hopes to slow the progression of the ganglionitis.
