Does IVIG help fatigue?
For people who’s
immunoglobulin
is low and they suffer from repeated infection, the idea of IVIG is simply to replace antibodies that are lacking and so make the immune system work better. So, of course if you are given IVIg you should get less infections and your body should clear them faster.

Waldenstroms - reduced dosage Ibrutinib
My wife has WM. IGM 2200 - 18 months of Ibrutinib @ 420 per day IGM drops to 145. All ok until Bilirubin abnormal 6 months ago. Changed dosage to 280. Bilirubin now normal. All other blood work normal but IGM started to increase now @250. My question is this. Does this rise in IGM suggest a new normal

The bugs we carry and how our immune system fights them
That's why we don't tend to respond well to vaccinations and why some of us need IgG infusions to bolster our

Personal Update and Dr. Byrd on What We Don't Know
Hi, I have been negligent in posting but I have an excuse or actually several. Been working hard to get back to my baseline with my knee arthritis and pain through swimming and physical therapy. Still anemic and tired, but getting better. The trip to Stockholm for EHA to present our research didn’t help

Painful Port?
So, when I began IVIG, I insisted on getting a port. My nutrition clinic wanted to put in a PICC, but my deep veins suck, too, and I didn’t love the idea of a PICC when I love baths and have dogs to care for. Anyhow, the thing was placed in the middle of April, and I still have itching. Now I have

I’m worried about my relapse for the second time
Hi all, I was diagnosed with ITP in 2007, as I was at the worst stage than with platelet count of 5, I was given both blood & platelet transfusion, IVIG for 10 days followed by course of prednisolone for a year. I then had a relapse in 2012, sudden heavy bleeding during my period and my platelet count

Hashimoto's. Am I on my way to Graves, too? TSI results.
I'm supposed to test TBII (thyrotropin-binding inhibitory
immunoglobulin
), too, but the code is missing from the test request. I hope I can get that added tomorrow. I value all of your opinions and advice, so thank you to anyone who reads this and responds. :-)

Need some feedback...
After my last visit with my onco it was decided that I still do not need IVIG and to take an antibiotic and viral medicine when needed - Visited a new dentist yesterday as old one retired and was put thru the paces with a myriad of X-rays and poking around my mouth. My rt eye and temple hurt and finally

Path To Diagnosis: Can anybody offer some advice?
The Complement and
Immunoglobulin
levels were normal. The Direct Coombes Test was negative. This I understand. But then, my blood was positive for Ro Antibodies. The Specialist went on to say how interesting the results of the ANA IIF would be. The ANA came back Nucleolar.

Out of the woods with ITP (I think!)
I have been diagnosed with ITP nine years ago back in dec. 2009, I was on my way to CA and I was told my blood count went to 2,000 from my primary care so I had to see a specialist, I went in and they gave me prednisone, for two weeks, they advised me not to go but I had already got the ticket so I went

Was anyone else frightened to start Ivig treatments ?
I like to consider myself a pretty tough chick but for some reason I’m scared to start then for fear of long term side effects like the FCR did to me by giving me autoimmune neutropenia. In order to supposedly fix that I need these Ivig drips two days in a row for 5 hours every 3 weeks..... I worry

Unsolvable personality changes due to broken valve
Anyone experience lethargy, gagging, personality changes, confusion after a shunt revision or valve change? IVIG and steroids make my daughter normal again but they won’t replace her shunt and I know this is cause. Something about it is not right and it’s been a year since surgery. She fluctuates. One

Allergies
Dear all, I was diagnosed with CLL in January 2018. It was quite shocking as no one in my immediate family is known to have cancer(s). Autoimmune issues are prevalent, but not cancer. In any case, I am in W&W with CLL. I recently had my second round of tests since diagnosis and my numbers all numbers
