    Well, my Dad just got his third infusion of IVIG and continues to sing it's praises. It may not work for everyone but he is very happy to finally find a treatment that has him back to his 'new normal' and out of the hospital. He's getting a treatment every 3 weeks and he says he can really tell the difference, especially the first few days after the infusion. It seems like this would be a good treatment for someone with a supressed immune system that has trouble fighting off infections and keeps catching every bug that floats by. That was my Dad's issue. At one point he had bacterial, viral, and fungal all at once...it was crazy. Thanks again LisaMarie for the info!

    That's great news, Randy. I hope your dad keeps improving. I wanted to ask Dr Seo about IVIG last week, but he answered so many other questions I didn't want to take more of his time.

    If anyone has an appt with a VF doc coming up, please ask about the status of using IVIG for Wegs.

    I asked my WG specialist about IVIG he said he will not use it yet because there is not enough data yet ...but a there is a current study in progress so he may use it at a later date...Glad it is working for some...it's an easy infusion for the most part

    Thanks LisaMarie for the additional info. My Dad is still doing well on the treatments and has even been able to travel a little bit. This is the longest he has gone between hospital stays in quite a while and we're all very happy to see him out and about again. Take care.
