So sorry that you are feeling 'down' Chirley. It's completely understandable with all you have had to deal with.

Do you think that even if you only give yourself a short break - say a month (or even shorter) at a time without treatment - it might give you time to come to a wise conclusion? I realise that my situation is by no means as serious as yours, but a year or so ago my haematologist recommended I try a 3 month break from the IgG infusions. 3 months turned out to be too long, but I managed 2 months and it was lovely not to have to go and have the cannula inserted, etc.
