gamaglobulin infusion

On Friday, I was given a gamaglobulin infusion. It took almost 4 hours and the next day I was so tired that I slept until 1:00 p.m. I didn't get my usual amount of energy back until today (Sunday). My doc has scheduled me for one of these per month in an effort to boost my immune system. Has anyone else had any experience with this type of infusion? How did it work for you? Thanks for the info.
