Hi all. I haven't infused for months due to side effects.
1. I think my cortisol is low - wonder if that could be a factor? 2. I recently joined a Facebook group for folks with CVID. I read and researched something I didn't know about. IVIG method - Gamma obviously goes directly into bloodstream. SCIG method - Gamma goes through lymphatic system??? Is this true? I don't know anything about the lymphatic system. Reason for asking: For years I did IVIG - 20 grams @ three weeks - infusing 2-3 hours. I switched to SCIG. First infusion 9 grams over 1.1/2 hours. Same brand: Gammagard. The day after first SCIG infusion I felt much worse than I ever did after IVIG. How could that be? Could Lyme disease mess up lymphatic system? Thoughts please? Thanks in advance.
