People can have various reactions to IVIG, some of them serious, and you had a large dose. What type of reaction did you have? Did the doctors do anything about it?

If you needed a one-time transfusion due to blood loss then that wouldn't require a bone marrow biopsy. Given your angiohemophilia doctors may have been reluctant to do any more invasive testing than necessary, even though acquired angiohemophilia is often seen in conjunction with other bone marrow failures.

In any case, you've had a BMB since then, so you know that your cellularity is low but not extremely low. Is your doctor recommending any treatment for you now?
