My son (18) has low IGG and IGA but its extremely hard to get iVIG unless peripheral neuropathy or other accepted reason--for low IGG it has to be VERY low and that drops all the time so insurance not have to pay for the expensive stuff Evan's 6 months of it ( given as a trial and before they dropped the "normals") made his sx imporve and he started to get better ( he was on abx as well) then about a month after it, he started to tank and the sx worsened without it since then we are told he isnt "low enough"--so he is ill but not enough IF you can get approved try it--it may help IVIG is the IV admin of immunoglobulins, often Gammaglobulin or IGG its unusual to have a general IG ( immunoglobulin) infusion in the U.S. and so more often its just IGG which wont help if youre low on the others immunoglobulins are proteins of the immune system it may be that your levels are depressed due to the meds or infection--hard to say--if youve never had tests before---whether you havean inherent/inborn deficiency--we guess thats Evan problem but we cant prove it and so we battle the insuirance all the time lately we cabnt even find a Dr who will rx it due to the fights--we have been to several top immuno's and neuro's etc--all say they wont bother fighting good luck Finette
