Have been on Hizentra for 1 yr. No infections, however severe migrains, chills, fatigue, dizziness. Wasn't aware other people are having problems w/headaches too. Does anyone else take something for these migrains, or do we just suffer? Plan on speaking w/my primary after reading all the reviews that confirm it is not "all in my head".
