Thanks Joy!

My first IVIg experience was HORRIBLE as well. I had the worst headache ever and didn't know if it felt better to lay as motionless as possible in a completely blackened room or if it was better to be pacing my living room praying for relief.

I stopped IVIg to go through the rituxan study and when I started back with IVIg more than a year later, I was almost as miserable as I was the first time around. The poor infusion nurse was hearing from me every other day. I've had several months of IVIg and can now work the same day I get the infusion where the previous "firsts" I felt like I needed a week off to recover. IVIg is my drug of choice at the moment. I feel so much better with it. Rituxan comes in at a very close 2nd.
