My IgG levels are extremely low from Multiple Myeloma treatments, my Oncologist got my insurance to approve it.
But I’m not supposed to start it for 2 weeks and now I have Covid. Trying to find out if I can get it started sooner. My Covid symptoms are quite mild.

I'm glad you will be able to receive the treatment. Multiple myeloma is a condition where IVIG is considered a medically necessary therapy. Unfortunately, IVIG is not listed as medically necessary for small fiber neuropathy even though multiple clinical trials have shown it can be very effective when the cause is known to be autoimmune. However, some patient are getting it approved and I was hoping to learn how so that I can a similar strategy. I hope all is well and you do not have any further road blocks. I wish good health to you.
