What were your side effects? I feel sick and fatigued most days after weekly infusions. Were you drinking a lot of water before and during the infusions? I'm wondering if drinking a lot of water could substitute for the IV fluids that you receive.

I have been having IVIG infusions fortnightly since August last year. I get 50 mls in 500 mls of fluid fortnightly. It takes about 4 hours.
It has helped greatly in my recovery and I feel good progress.
The day after IVIG I feel weak and tired. As I have had more I have had less side effects.
I don't take in a lot of water but do pass a lot but have found eating lunch half wa trhrough has helped. Maybe you could try that?
