Forgot to mention that about 2 weeks after my first IVIG therapy I got in the hospital, I developed a red rash on the palms of my hand that was itchy and peeling. It looked like dishydrotic eczema. I found out that it is not an uncommon drug reaction. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16490849 . My IVIG brand was changed to Gamunex and I was given solumedrol, a steroid, with the second dose. I had no recurrence of it.
