In an interview I watched with Dr Klimas she highlighted one particular study in the 80's did a great deal of harm because it was compared against an high dose IVIG study in CFS which showed it helped. The comparison study was at a much lower level of infused IVIG and did not help in the study.
I am on IVIG and it has helped me. Not a cure by a long stretch but helped. I did not take IVIG prior to getting tests done which leaned toward some type of autoimmune basis for my illness.
I would caution others to not get it without positive tests as well. That being said I would tell people with unexplained CFS to get every antibody test known to man because there is a lot we and doctors don't know yet....
