Kyriak51 here, I'm so sorry you had a reaction to the Ivig, we're you premeditated? As you know I've given this drug many times without incident and I had no reaction to my infusion during and certainly not two weeks later. Generally if there a reaction it's during the the infusion hence the premeditation and close observation of patient for any signs of reaction. As for the bone marrow biopsy, we generally medicated Versed (midazolan) which causes amnesia and a narcotic,(Fentanyl or Demerol) given IV which is very effective during the procedure. The pain at the biopsy is easily controlled with Tylenol. Do you have the biopsy results? Be well, keep me pasted

Hi I'm sorry you have had problems with the infusion. I had very bad headache and vomiting from an infusion even though I had the previous med. The next time they changed the brand. No vomiting but slight headache. Hope this helps you. 😊
