AndyD Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 For anyone with IVIG experience... is it possible to start getting side effects a week after completing the first round of infusions? We did 5 straight days of our first round of infusions a couple weeks ago and the side effects were pretty mild during the treatment, however we started to see all these flu like symptoms begin about one week after that last treatment. Achy feeling, Cold Sweats, slight temp, nauseousness, even mouth sores which we've never had before. Is it possible this is from the IVIG? Or is it more likely a non-related flu or virus of some kind? It seems strange that it would begin one week later if it was from the IVIG but then again I've read anything is possible with IVIG. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Anna Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 We used Walgreens infusion center and they had mentioned flu like side effects like chills. I would ask the prescribing service about your symptoms. I don't remember anything about sores. T.Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
