I would like to add that make sure you eat a decent meal before the infusion. One guy told me it's like going out to drink.........the hangover won't be as bad if you have eaten........so, mine is usually in the morning. so, I make sure I've had breakfast.

And make sure you drink plenty of water the day before. And always take the tylenol and benedryl before infusion and continue every 4 to 6 hours after.

Good luck to you. I had all of the headaches until after about the 6th week of infusions. ANd now it's like a shot of energy and pain relief.

Althought I would like to add that after 2 years of the infusions I am at once a month and will see the Dr. and go to either once every 6 weeks or discontinue.

Ivig was a miracle for me!!
