Immune globulin intravenous "Three days after completing the first three-day treatment, seem to have very modest improvement in balance. Have had very mild headache helped by drinking plenty of water and have experienced some fatigue. So far, benefits outweigh the side effects."

Immune globulin intravenous "I get 800 ml 10% IVIg intravenously every 2 weeks for about 6 or 7 years. Supervision by Cornell Weil in NYC. I do not feel any difference before or after infusion. Yearly EMG tests indicate the progression has stopped at about 50% motor/sensory loss. I have thankfully minimal pain with Prednisone 20 mg daily and 25 mg Methotrexate weekly."

Immune globulin intravenous "It helps with my dizziness, balance problems, and tremors. I just wish the doctor knew how to prescribe it. He prescribes it for five days every three months. Panzyga starts wearing off at two weeks. The medication itself only lasts 25 days. I was on IVIG from age 10-18. It worked really well. I took it every two weeks for two days. Side effects: headache and nausea last about 8-9 days. I am a really hard stick, and it’s hard to keep an IV in me."
