Phasmid Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Ds12 came home today saying he feels bad, his legs ache. They hurt bad enough he has to take a shower (always tells me it is really bad). Another mom I know said her daughter had leg/arm aches couple weeks after IVIG. If I were to GUESS what it might be, I would say it has something to do with stopping and restarting of antibody production in the bone marrow, taking place in long bones, like arms and legs. This is just my wild guess. I am not worried about it, but would like to know if others have had this happen?

Bordercollie Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 If it continues have him checked for mono. Have them do a mono spot and epstein Barr virus. My son had IVIG at end Sept 2010 and 4 wks later developed mono. It has been rough and I hope your son does not have it. It is rare. He started w complaints of aching bones. Good Luck.
Phasmid Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 Gulp. okay, we have 4:00 appt. Where did he pick up mono? From the product? Was there high fever too?

Phasmid Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 dr office says influenza A and B both going around. Fever pretty high (103). hope we don't lose all the gains we just made with recent infusion.
