Hello and thank you for the email. My son had IVIG 33 days ago and we have not seen any significant changes in regards to his anorexia/eating disorder issue. Dr. Kovacevic stated that it could take up to 3 months to see if the IVIG would be successful. Hopefully, our son will have a positive change through this difficult time. Patience is what is needed in times like this.

Hello all: My son obtained strep in 2010 at age 9 and lost 18 pounds. He slowly regained most of his weight back, but regressed into full blown Aneroxia Nervosa in August 2012. After my son was in a treatment residence for Aneroxia for 2 months, he regained his weight, but he still struggles with his fear of eating. Currently, he is a patient of Dr. Kovacevic in Chicago and is receiving I.V.I.G. at the Oakbrook Medical Center. If anyone would like advice on how to handle a child with these issues or discuss the matter, I would be happy to speak with you. I have strep in my family history and have been learning about this disease for the past 2 years.
