Hi - will have learn how to quote
Post menopause so I rarely get migraines. I used more imitrex in a week that I have in the last five years.
I learned that in 2016 I was infusing gammaguard at 28mgs in 3.5 hours. I am about 177 lbs.
This last time I infused 30mgs in the same 3.5 hours at about 178 lbs so I have to take longer infusions with saline following (about 250 mls according to pharmacy). That's still no guarantee to stop migraine.
But I also want blood work before the next infusion for kidney function - and maybe need more tests to auth oxygen, too. I don't know. Anything else? I just wrote Levine.
My migraines stopped after 6 days. I never started the opiod. I can't face going through these migraines again.. I can deal with one but 6 has left me so compromised and weak, I am afraid of the infusion. I'd switch to subque if the next IV goes badly. If subque goes badly, I'd have to abandon which is too bad since I believe IVIG almost resolved altogether my sinus infections. Now I'm in some long flare with swollen glands, streaky and red sore throat, etc. This flare is the longest in a long time going on almost 8 weeks - didn't respond to amox. Trying to do this not on Lunesta hard. Unisom turned out to feel like poison! (the nonantihistamine kind) THnx all Jo
