I have been receiving Optagam IVIG continuously for the past 11 years. It has been keeping my IGG levels at an acceptable level.

Thanks for sharing Doug! Are you on Octagam IVIG? I’m curious if they have ever changed the IVIG meds that they’ve given you? You have consistently done this for 11 years?
