I am sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with a provider. Also, I have to say that I have been receiving IgG infusions for that last year and a half and it has been nothing but a positive experience. I have a diagnosis of CIDP and I get infusions every two weeks and the only side effect I have experienced are mild headaches. I have a history of difficult IV sticks, however the nursing staff are very experienced and I did not need to have a port inserted.
Many times insurance initially denies coverage of IgG infusions, but if other treatments have been implemented without success then most insurance usually ends up covering the infusions. The providers must document rigorously. Keep us posted.
