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.
