Has anyone had IVIG Infusions for Neuropathy?

I do not know the correlation of the acronyms to the diseases, but I am currently having Ivig treatment, this past Monday. The key is to have the infusion as slow as possible. (Each brand is different on the volume vs. Time.) Headaches are a major side effect, so be prepared and talk to your provider to have medication available ahead of time in case it is needed. There could be others just know what they are for your particular script.
I hope all goes smoothly and you heal quickly and feel better soon.

I have Dermatomyositis that is an autoimmune disease which can affect your skin, muscles, and lungs, unfortunately I have the trifecta, all three.
Thank You for the information, it’s helps a lot, because I am anxious about this treatment.
It’s not an easy journey! Praying for you, and wishing you the Best!
Health is Wealth!

The night before my IGG infusion I hydrate with fluids and that seems to help with the headaches. Please check with your medical team before hydrating with large any of fluids. Good luck
