IVIG and Coronavirus
Hey all!
I haven’t personally experienced this, but I’ve heard that some have not been able to get IVIG during this time because an infusion center has either closed or patients have been told “it’s not safe to come to one.” Has anyone here experienced this or had to switch over to home infusions because of this?
Personally, my infusion center is a stand alone center (not in a hospital). We also have private “rooms” that each patient is in, so they are relatively safe although they do require us to wear a mask the entire day and have restricted visitors so that only patients are allowed in the center. Last month, they were also checking our vitals in a small cornered off area before we were allowed to come in, so I feel pretty safe being there.
I also know that if I don’t receive my IVIG, I will be a lot sicker and have many more problems so I’m willing to take a small risk.
What are your thoughts?
