I've been having IVig infusions every 4 weeks for over a year. It's hard for me to know what any lessening of pain to attribute to the infusions, or to other things I throw at my idiopathic CIDP. But before I started, my nerve test had shown a disheartening jump in the progression of the disease, and a recent test showed that it has stabilized, which is reason enough for me to continue the infusions. I never had any side effects from the infusions. I was just glad that Medicare approved it because there's no way I could begin to afford the Privigen. It's outrageously expensive. I'm grateful for the various doctors who care for me, who listen to me and believe what I tell them. I've had only a few doctors over the years who treated me poorly, but none currently, thank the Lord.
