I know some of you are receiveing the IVIG infusions for your neuropathy, and I'd love to pick your brains....so to speak My insurance turned us down flat last week but today decided that I do need the infusion treatments. So I start them next Thurs. The insurance O.K.'d the infusions for once a week for 3 months and each infusion will be 4 hrs. long. Does this sound right? I thought some people were doing them once every 2 weeks for 2 hrs? Anyway.......please if you have info or things I should be asking Critical Care Infusions before they start....I'd love to hear.....also what side effects have you had or can I expect to have??
