My Daughter Has Been Getting Her Infusions Every 3 Weeks Since December But Now She Says Her Veins Hurt, There Is Times Her Arm Muscles Get
Inflamed and you can see that it's like swollen is that normal? She won't see a neurologist till October so we go to a center to do the infusion and I ask the nurse there all she said ask her neurologist
No she doesn't since in our area it's difficult to find pediatrician who deals with mg and the insurance is such a hassle I'm grateful for the fact she is taking them it does make a big difference for her
