My neurologist set my schedule. I started with five days in a row once a month, but I hit the famous “trough” at the end of every cycle, and my doctor put me on weekly doses to keep the level of antibodies stable. I have no side effects other than feeling tired after each infusion. I have improved somewhat and don’t have the crippling nerve pain I started with. I had so much nerve damage before I was properly diagnosed that I’m grateful I can walk with a cane in the house and can use my arms and hands fully. At my age, I am very unlikely to see much healing of the damaged myelin, but that can happen in younger patients with the help of regular IVIG.
