Comment:
I would love it if they would package it in a daily pod that i could attach/inject and get a daily dose slowly (like an insulin pump) and the only interaction I need is attaching and removing. I have done the weekly schedule, and find the daily injection suits me better, but its pretty fiddly given available solutions.

The side effects have been horrible--headache, nausea, lightheaded, loss of appetite, diarrhea and significant joint pain. Also, the infusion sites (2) have been painful, red , swollen, and bruised. I have stopped using.

Comment:
I have been infusing 10g/week Hizentra for 2 years now and it has worked wonders. I highly recommend: drinking two quarts electrolyte water day before, day of and day after infusion to minimize side effects. (I use Ultima) I also use Benadryl (1 capsule) as pre treatment to minimize side effects.

Comment:
I have not been sick. I do subQ weekly of 9 grams. The side effects are terrible. My legs feel like jello, headaches, bottom eye lids are red, I stay hungry, bedrest fatigue still, brain fog. I have been using it for 5 weeks. I am not fond of needles. So it is bothersome for me. I stay swollen for days from the sites and itch at the sites.

I have had weekly infusions with Hizentra since May. I have not had any infections, but the side effects have been horrible--headache, nausea, lightheaded, loss of appetite, diarrhea and significant joint pain. Also, the infusion sites (2) have been painful--red, swollen, and bruised. I have stopped using it and my doctor is recommending a different product.
