IMMUNE GLOBULIN - SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION

I was on Vivaglobin a few years ago. I loved it. I was sore after infusing, and the sites would swell to the size of a goose egg. The good thing about this med is I ate what I wanted and never gained weight. My doctor switched me to Hyzentra. My sites do not swell as much but the same soreness is there. I have gained 20 lbs on the Hyzentra

Much better than IV infusion,almost no side effects besides some site redness. Has greatly helped instances of fever,infection,joint pain,fatigue, and muscle pain.....some g.i. disturbences though mild...

Before taking this medicine I was hoping to feel better enough to actually go out, talk with friends and enjoy life. Although this did not happen and I only feel better for 2-3 days after infusions, I am glad to report that I have significantly fewer infections(mostly upper respiratory), fewer sore throats and less muscle pain. While I am disappointed that this medicine wasn't able to provide me with the energy I need to do even simple things every day(like take a shower and get dressed),I do feel it protects me from getting worse and catching viruses/infections. The infusions need to be taken every week, or full symptoms will return after about 9 days off of the Vivaglobin and you'll run the risk of infection again.

I take it via six sites weekly. I get headaches, jittery and painful, itchy site reactions. However, my infections, have slowed down since I began using it.

I started this medication and had what are called moderate site reactions. I was ill from the medication 4 days after taking one time per week. The initial pre and post medication were sedating and ineffective. Finally after deciding to try ivig I was advised to pre-medicate with a little predison and the site reactions were then manageable. After months these two infusions with the predisone pre-medication have been a lot better. I have been staying at home 99% of the time only going out one day per week. I have had two infections and this is a great improvement over my usual every few weeks infections. So overall this could be a wonderful treatment for the long haul.

My 5 year old son has been on this medication since May of 2007. Since starting this treatment I have noticed that he has less infections and when he does get sick he isn't sick for a long period like he was before starting the sub-q treatment. He has had a mild allergic reaction to this, but we are able to control it with benedryl. This medicine has been a blessing in his life as well as ours.
