Hello everyone! I have been on this journey for 11 years now, getting routine IVIG, switched to SCIG a few years ago (and love it), anyhow, my question is: Is it typical to need a loading dose every once in a while? I have had one or two repeat loading doses in the last 11 years, and I feel like I am needing one again (Omicron infection didn’t help with that either ugh). But, I was curious how typical that is for others to need this “Boost” to help things stay controlled. Thank you so much in advance!

Interesting that you are saying this cause I was thinking something along similar lines. I take Cellcept for my CIDP which works pretty well. But when I get a little bug, it lingers for weeks. I’m actually going to see my GP tomorrow and am going to inquire about monoclonal antibody treatment. Something makes me think this could be a useful compliment. But yes, seems to make sense a loading dose every now and again could seem beneficial.
