Healingthedude Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I am taking my son in for his 2nd HD IVIG tomorrow. Last time we did the 1.5 split over 2 days. It got rid of the tics but he has had a really hard time behaviorally and not been feeling great. Really hard to function at school. Tantrums etc. I was wondering if anyone is ramping the kids up from the 1 gram/kg to 1.5 gram/kg slowly in a single IV over a couple of months. (till they adjust to the 1.5) My son did beautiful on the 1 gram/kg monthly for a year and change but it stopped working last summer and his symptoms came back. We did HD in October and it seemed too strong. I was hoping to do a 1.2 or 1.3g/kg in one long IV (8 hours)- and see if its easier on his sensitive system. I also open to doing the 1.2 IV over 2 days. Having trouble deciding what to do. His immunologist does the same protocol for everyone 1.5 over 2 days every 2 months. His Dan Dr said it doesnt matter if its one long IV or over 2 days. I think my kid is too sensitive. I don't want to throw away the whole school year if there is a gentler way to achieve the same thing. Any input or names of Drs who treat more sensitive kids appreciated.
