Re: IVIG therapy and Immunodeficiency (Gerri-Anne and Dawn)

[Guest guest]

Laurel,

Thanks very much for the answer but now I am more concerned.

's doc said it would take about 3 hrs. the first time and then

it could go faster the next. I am very concerned about a reaction.

She has blood transfusion reactions. When she is transfused (every 3

wks) she has a meningitis like reaction starting 24 hrs. post.

Sometimes it is bad sometimes not too bad. This scares me. I do not

want her to suffer. OUr goal with her is comfort. If we can treat

her and have her remain comfortable then we do it. I am afraid if

she has a blood trans. reaction wouldn't it be likely that she would

react the same to the IVIG? It is a blood product right?

Thanks for the help.

Dawn
