I haven't been in treatment for very long, I have IVIG injections every few weeks and then I'm on a immunosuppressant. Since they injections started I've had some bad headaches, but that's really it. Has anyone else had headache?

Hi John
I have had IVIG treatment now for 8 months. I did get headaches and nausea on the day of having treatment but I found that if I went to sleep as soon as I got home helped.
The hospital has now changed my IVIG for a different medicine (intratect) but over the 3 months that I have been recieving this I feel as though my condition has stopped improving and has plataud.
