Anyone ever gotten IgG shots in the bum?

[momto2pandas]

Has anyone had any experience with IgG injections in the bottom? I had that 22 years ago, and it was as simple as going into the student health office, bending over, and dealing with a couple of big needles. (I was traveling to the third world, and my doc felt like I needed an extra boost of immunity.) Felt fabulous for about 8 months afterwards. I know that these days people prefer to do IVIG, but I know that it can also be complicated and expensive to get that. Have Ig injections been suggested to anyone?

 

Just curious.

Is this the same as gamma globulin shots? My mother had these when I was a kid because she always seemed to catch everything. I don't know if they worked, but she got them for quite a while once a month.

 

When you say they made you feel better, do you mean your symptoms went away? Did you stay healthier at that point? What kind of a Dr would have to give it to you?
