Another IVIG question
 
Just wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this with IVIG...

I usually drink two cups of coffee per day, one in the morning and then one mid-afternoon. I love coffee. I love the taste. I very much enjoy trying new roasts. Very similar to how other people might enjoy wine. I am from Seattle after all :)

But...since going through IVIG...I can't stand the stuff!!! Can't stand the taste at all. I had two weeks of IVIG and this started about midway through. I didn't have any side effects, specifically nausea, that I can point to as the cause of this. No idea why, but I really dislike coffee now.

A month out from my last dose and this intense dislike for coffee is still going strong. Guess I'll be turning into a tea drinker.

It may be the Meds you are on. When I was on Imuran I couldn't even go in the door of Wendy's.

I haven't had that problem with iVIG.. still love my coffee... How about steriods? do you get those with the infusions or taking those? Those can make funny tastes in your mouth...

I started prednisone around six months ago, but did increase my dose with the crisis that got me the IVIG. Didn't even think of that. Thanks!
