Hello Ursula,

's SQIG reactions are: decreased appetite, vomiting, low grade

fever, localized site reactions, diarrhea for a couple of days

afterwards, increase in abdominal distention and just plain being

miserable not himself.

His IVIG reactions were: flushing, headaches, documented increase in

heart rate and blood pressure so infusion rate had to be slowed down

or stopped, extreme fever (105-106), abdominal distention that led to

ileuses, multiple times of vomiting and expulsive diarrhea that led to

dehydation, and joint pain. They even premedicated him with IV

benedryl and hydrocortisone before and after along with tylenol

etc....
