Thank you for your response, @katec I don't know what to expect from the infusions. I already take Meloxicam and Claritin in the morning, but I may take acetaminophen afterward, too. I don't have any information about the medication, but I'm only scheduled to do it on either Tuesday and Thursday or Wednesday and Friday every 4 weeks. So, I hope I won't find it as intense as your son did. I'll post here about how it goes.

People seem to react differently to Ivig. I do three days every 4 weeks. I finished my 2nd round yesterday. I experienced no side effects at all during/after days 1 & 2. Toward the end of day 3 and throughout day 4 (today) I get a mild headache and some stomach discomfort. Yogurt, Ginger Ale and Mylanta work well. The headache will probably disappear today. The stomach issue may last a few more days. The side effects have decreased this time
