Hello friends,
At this moment it is 15.00 in the afternoon in the Netherlands, and you are waking up / just have woken up in the USA.
Just want to say hi, as I am receiving my IVIG treatment at this very moment, comfortably at home.
Wondering, do you get your treatments at home, or in a hospital?
I have a lot of questions about practical matters, so I will ask more.
The Dutch are known to be a bit blunt and straightforward, so embrace yourself.
😉

When I did have IvIg (two five-day loading doses), I was in a hospital. That was because my case was severe and I was too weak to be at home. I have never had IvIg after that.

When I had IVIG it was always in a hospital infusion room. Is the reason for doing it at ones home for convenience or price? I was never given the option, so the topic never came up.

Yes, it is for convenience, some patients choose for a hospital.
A qualified nurse attends the procedure.
I know some people even put the needle in theirselves, but I don’t dare to do that.
