IVIG has been the most helpful in treating my MG. It has done the best in keeping my symtoms under controI get one four hour dose every three weeks. The first time i tried it, it made me violently ill: (vomiting, headaches, weakness, etc). (I wasn't on prednisone during the first one, which may have been why i got so sick) The second time i tried it, it made me feel temporaily weak. I haven't really had much side effects since then.
