CCSVI testing denied due to use of IVIG?
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 5:55 am
Hi all-- asking this for a friend. She recently tried to get scheduled for CCSVI testing and treatment, but was told she couldn't because she's on IVIG? Anyone else have this problem?
I don't know if it's specific to IVIG, since I have a friend on Tysabri, who was able to get scheduled with no problems. I am also on Tysabri and working on getting scheduled, so I don't know if it's because of IVIG being an IV drug (although Tysabri is as well), or because it alters the veins somehow, or what? Thank you for any insight!
