Any suggestions? Did I just have too high of expectations? |
Do you have CVID? If you do then what they told you isn't really accurate. You won't feel like a "new person in a few days". The side effects of the IVIG go away in a few days but it takes 6 months- 1 year for people to start feeling better once they start treatment. And by better I mean less infections and they won't be so severe when you do get them.
Now also, IVIG has a 3 week half life meaning usually on the 4th week, alot of us start to feel really crappy.
Feels like crap...Next IVIG Infusion 1 week away!
