mdmom Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 DS just had his first HD IVIG (finally - only had to wait 27 months for this) and doc did not use steroids or benadryl to manage side effects. Instead, doc did pre-hydration with IV Vitamin C and Magnesium and we dosed ibuprofen every 6 hours. And he is drinking loads of water. No nausea or headache. We are so happy to be moving forward with his treatment.
peglem Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 May you be blessed with amazing healing!
FallingApart Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 that is awesome news. How are things going? Are you seeing any improvements? I'm wanting to admit DD for IVIG when we haven't done it in 2 years.
mdmom Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Posted January 19, 2013 It's too early to tell. He just had IVIG on Thurs and Fri and will get it every 4 weeks. So time will tell...
