Hi Cheryl, yes I did have to pay. $122.50 for those 15 minutes of watching him nod off. That's $50 out of pocket.

I don't understand, can Intragam cause sore throats? Or should I say, decrease your immunity to them? I thought it was supposed to increase your immunity. It just seems a bit strange to cut them back when you are obviously catching infections.

Back in 2010 my haematologist was going to start me on IGG infusions, I suppose that's the same thing. I was in hospital at the time and I was supposed to start them one afternoon and I waited and it never happened and no one ever said what happened. It was never mentioned again.

I got a phone call yesterday to go and have my blood test today and be ready for admission for more copper next week. This is going to work out well because I have things on for the two weeks after that and wasn't going to be able to have my treatment when it was due. So going in a week early is just fine with me.

A couple of weeks ago I was given some medical advice that was a bit disconcerting but I've started following it. I was told to spend my money and enjoy it while I can. So I've had the outside of my house re painted this week. The colour isn't the same as the colour chart (is it ever) but it looks wonderful. It was supposed to be taupe but it turned out a smokey grey with a very slight pink undertone. Then I had my front door done in a deep very glossy burgundy. I can't stop looking at it....I bought new curtains and new floor rugs as well. Feels good to have a change.

Hope you fell better soon.
