Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for long Covid
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Aug 18 7:44pm | Replies (15)Comment receiving replies
I have had 10 rounds of infusions of Immunoglobulin and am scheduled for another 8 more. The scientific literature supports this usage for treating neuropathy and I must say that it helped my problem in my feet. But, my dizziness and poor balance were not affected and that is the problem I would like to get treated. I can only walk using a walker and that is not handy. I was very active and “outdoorsy”, but no more.

My muscle weakness and trouble walking are really bad too.I have lost all of the strength in the trunk of my body.I was hoping that IVIG would help with that.I know that prednisone helped a little though.I was so healthy and active before this as well.
May I ask how you the approval process for coverage of the IVIG went for you? My insurance repeatedly denies it as an investigational drug. My diagnosis was autoimmune small fiber neuropathy.

I'm so sorry to hear it is not doing what you want. I was ver active too and now I am using a wheelchair and often have to spend my day in bed. May I ask you where you are getting this treatment? Thank you for sharing your experience with me.
