It does!! Like you said previously, treatment works for different people. IVIG is used to basically add some healthy antibodies into my immune system to fight off my dumb ones. It's expensive but it works for me out of all of my treatments (so far). Definitely talk to your rheumy about it!

I suffer from Polymyositis, an autoimmune disease that effects my muscles. I've having to take immunosuppressant meds but also combine it with immunoglobulin/IVIG infusions. Have you tried IVIG also?

Awesome! In glad to help in any way. It's so cool that your disease and mine sound so similar in name too! I'm barely 29 so I understand what it's like to be young and dealing with all of this. Just remember to stay positive and enjoy life!
