I just had an appointment with my neurologist and don't have to go back for 6 months (had been every 3 months). I have been on IVIG every 3 weeks for 10 months now and have just really started noticing the effects in the last month or so. I have less pain now than I've had for years. He said most insurers want to try a withdrawal from the therapy after 2 years to make sure it is still needed. The Gamunex seems to be working for me, it just took a while to have an impact.

Fight to stay with it. It’s working for me. If your doc says you need it… and the insurance wants to remove you… have him send an appeal and you as well write an appeal letter to insurance. Glad to hear you are getting better!

If they try to take you off…fight to keep it. I’ve been on it for years!! Nearly no issues anymore but my doc still sees it.
