Has Anyone Had Ivig Infusions Or Gammagard Liquid Is What My Insurance Approved. I Keep Getting Infections So My Oncologist Has Prescribed
I have cll and systemic lupus
Cdelyn—-I have had CLL for over 23 years and have needed IVIG. Infusions for the last 7 years! I get them every 4 or 5 weeks! New insurance requires my IGg to be less than 500! I have a standing order at Lab for the Immune blood work and they test IGg, IGm and IGa. The IGg is the only one that the Infusion helps! My IGm is always near zero, which is the one that fights bacteria in mucous membranes! Thence we have to guard against pneumonia, bronchitis, sore throat and sinusitis! Good Luck and God Bless! Treatment is boring and slow because it is thicker than Clear Caro Syrup, if you remember way back during WWII! lol. I fight the Benadryl fog and am usually feeling good by bedtime!
yes they have other options
I can not take benadryl. Is there something else they can give?
My son gets it. He hasn't had any side effects but they do a tylenol and benedryl before he gets it. It takes 3 hours to infuse.
