I had the IVIG
After the first day, I had a big increase in my pulse. It may have been due to taking tylenol sinus. It was annoying but I figured it was that, it slowed down as the stuff wore off, then I took plain old tylenol. I had a headache from the treatment, but felt a lot better after a nap and a snack.
Today I had no problem at all, and my pulse is back down in the 60s. Slight headache but less than yesterday. I am trying to stay hydrated.
The nurse said IVIG usually works right away, so when I get my blood test on Thursday it should be obvious. On Thursday, my HGB was 89, WBC 1.3, ANC 0.7 and retic 9.4. It would be really nice not to need a transfusion next weekend.
