    I've had my port since March of 2018 and have been getting IVIG since September 2018. I get IVIG because of having CIDP. It helps keep my ass out of the hospital. Plus because I received training in doing my port care, running IV fluids and also running IVIG by my home health company I am able to independently run my IVIG on my own. Because of the training that I got and can run it independently I can run it when I want such as at night or on the weekend without having to wait around for a nurse and if I need to go to the store then I can.

    He has an autoimmune disease which means his immunity is in overdrive and now is taking immunosuppressants so I’m still confused. Will anything remove the antibody that is causing the disease specifically Jo-1

    Plasma used to make IVIG will have antibodies from donors being vaccinated, but not spike proteins or mRNA from the vaccine itself. That said, vaccines, including COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, are proven to be safe and effective. Note that nothing mentioned on this channel should ever be used as a substitute for the medical advice of a physician.

    Excellent presentation, thank you! Question though, what would it mean for me if I'm only low on IgA, but my doctor said my B cells are extremely low too. All other immunoglobulins are just fine (IgG, IgM, etc.)

    I had IVIG for almost 5 to 6 years off and on. It worked great. I was given it because I had numerous autoimmune diseases like PBC, Lupus, MCTD and Polymyositis. In 2013 I had one bad reaction and got Aseptic Meningitis. So I was hospitalized and they fixed the problem but then they put me on Ratuxan which does not hardly work. I have constant fatigue, joint pain, fevers, chills and am constantly getting colds, flus , bronchitis and pneumonia. The last several years have been awful and I am constantly ill. My doctor does not want to put me back on the IVIG due to the incident that occurred in 2013. I disagree with him. Can I try the IVIG again, what are the risks?
