Hello? Has anyone suffered scary IVIG side effects? I've been having IVIG for about 18 months and it was going great, with some side effects but nothing too bad. Recently I had really bad chest pain for 3 days after my treatment, starting the afternoon of my last day of treatment, and also my knees became really swollen and sore? I really dont want to stop the treatment but I dont know if I can take the painful chest again? Gamunex 10% 3 days every 6 weeks. Please any advice anyone?
