Re: Re: LDN & IVIG Together?

[Guest guest]

r, my understanding is its more aggressive than steroids, but its not bad. I had steroids twice and the 2nd time it did nothing for me, but make me evil... For a better understanding, check out the website.. http://www.cidpusa.org/P/ivig.htm What is IVIG or Intravenous Immune Globulin? It is a collection of Y shaped antibodies called IgG as shown in the above cartoon. This plasma product is formed by taking antibodies from about 20,000 donors and mixing them together. These have proven effective in several immune system disorders, including nearly all autoimmune conditions including CIDP

and GBS. The sooner you can treat the patient the better the results. There is a window of opportunity usually within the first 18 months during which IVIg administration is ideal. The longer you wait to treat with IVIg the longer it will take for IVIg to work. After being exposed to toxins and poisonous chemicals including carbon monoxide the body's immune system may mount a attack on the body. This autoimmune attack can be reduced by IVIG.

Thanks Jane...I was concerned about it. I'm having an IVIG treatment sometime this month and it may be ongoing... My neuro says he gives it to patients as a boost like once a month for one day. My first treatment last 5 days and it was for 4 hours each day... I think it did help, because my hands are not tingling anymore and the tingling in my legs has gone down allot.. so between the IVIG and LDN, I'm feeling really good.. More energy, less symptoms! floraread <jhart@...> wrote: > > "Is anyone or has anyone done IVIG and if so, are you on LDN? Can you > do both together?> Hi Debi,I've been on monthly IVIG for going on 4 years. My B cells don't mature which causes a type of Common Immune Deficiency. I'll be on IVIG the rest of my life. I'm 65.I've been on LDN for 4 or 5 months, since my Rheumatologist told me about it. I'm getting better! Many other meds go down my gullet but LDN is the latest and the improvement must be attributed to it.Hope this helps!Jane>
