Why does the argc clinic have such a high success rate for ivf
Is it because they offer
ivig
? Is there anything else that's additional that they offer?

But You Don't Look Sick
Got my
IVIG
treatment last week so immune system is topped off . Have my Clorox wipes and masks and gloves and antibiotics ready to go. Now just have to remember to be careful of what I eat and drink, as my tummy is very prone to upset over the least little thing.

Skin rash
After my 5th
IVIG
infusion (Feb 1, 2017), I developed a skin rash that started on my torso and has gone all over my body. It's been 2 months and hardly abated! Dermatologists put me on Prednisone for 3 weeks, and I've been using two different kinds of steroid creams.

ITP and joint pain
Ive had ITP since 2004, initially treated with steroids which has left me with insomnia, apart from some
iVig
before Christmas, as my levels normally stay above 30000 (30000 - 80000) we now just monitor rather than have any treatments.

CLL Treatment - Give your body a rest?
Which then may lead to
IVIG
Infusions. Chest infections - nebuliser treatment. Nasal problems. Antibiotic & Antiviral Courses. AND Now I have an appointment with an Endocrinologist - for extreme backache due to Cushing Disease caused by the drug I take for my diarrhoea.

Vasculitis
My neurologist had me on other medications including CellCept & Methetrexate and then a year into my treatment my Immunologist introduced ' Cyclophosphamide ' and monthly infusions
IVIG
which replaced the above. Prednisone remains.

IVIG Infusions
My hematologist has decided that I would benefit from
IVIG
infusions during the winter months, as he is worried I could damage my lungs. Any advice on these infusions would be great please. Thanks Colnegirl

Can a 14 years old take steroid 10 mg for a month due to ITP ?
After
IVIG
she has been on varying steroid doses high -low -high and currently at 10 mg. Docs suggested to continue 10 mg for a month . Has anyone experience of such long term use of steroids at such tender age ?

Spontaneous remission of stage 3 Burkitt's recurrence with very minimal treatment
At the end of his regimen he was also dx'd with spinal stenosis and common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) which means he has no immune system and needs 10-12hr immunoglobulin infusions (
IVIG
) every 28 days. But he survived it all.
