Medicare covers the use of IVIG for demyelinating peripheral neuropathy, and TFL (military) covers any left over. I was having a lot of problems setting an IV, one time taking an hour, and we discussed a port. Decision was not to have one. And then I stopped drinking coffee before the first day of the IVIG and it worked fine. Set the IV so I could leave it in over night and generally, almost always it was good enough on day two. And I could drink my morning coffee before heading for the infusion center.
