Hi Ashley
I have IVIG every 4-5 weeks. That's because at the time I was diagnosed with MDS I was also diagnosed with hypogammaglobulinaemia. IVIG doesn't make any difference to my blood counts, except for globulins of course, which it keeps at pretty much normal levels. What IVIG does do is help me to resist infections because my white cell count averages around 1.5, my neutrophils are always less than 1.0, and lymphocytes sit around 0.4.
