I’m 64 year old male that started out the same way with the same symptoms from IVIG infusions. Headaches were absolutely the worst that could not be controlled even with prescription meds. I was moved to VYVGART after the second round of IVIG infusion la and have not experienced the same symptoms since. I will say despite the IVIG symptoms, I felt better physically and mentally on IVIG but the side effects you describe were too much to take… Crazy thing, MG patients are like oil and water when I comes to anesthesia. So due to my recent back surgery 2- months ago, I was given an IVIG infusion the day before the surgery and the day after… Tgey felt it would be stronger than my VYVGART??? I’m not sure what caused all my MG symptoms to return via the anesthesia, surgery or the IVIG infusions but the majority of my MG symptoms were triggered for about three weeks after the surgery mostly blurred vision, slurred speech and swallowing. I actually went into the emergency room three weeks after surgery and had some food pushed out of my esophagus. Food had been try to lodge in my esophagus for the first three weeks after surgery. The crazy part is that I did not have any of the original side effects from the IVIG infusions such as the headaches, body aches and chills… Go figure as I think we’re all wired differently and react to our MG infusions differently… Hope that helps a little…
