Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is <b>a compound that consists of immune globulins (immune proteins) that are usually administered into the bloodstream</b>. It is used to treat patients with severe or rapidly worsening myasthenia gravis (MG). The treatments, at least mine, were with donated globulins. MG is a rare disease. There is no one doctor that handles all the issues. In the hospital, and now post discharge, I saw an endocrinologist, lung (breathing) specialist, and my cardiologist as well as an IR doctor who installed and monitored my PICC line for nine weeks. All under the overall management of my neurologist (who also helped with the double vision.)
