For Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy "I have been under IVIg therapy (intravenous immunoglobulin therapy) for more than 4 years, after first trying steroids for CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy). Felt better immediately with steroids, but gained weight, which is now impossible to lose! Switched to Gamunex, which I have used alternately (every 6 months with a change of living location) with Gamagard - no problems with either one. The only thing I can complain about is the time at the hospital every 3 weeks that is required. At the last appointment, I was informed that a switch had been made from the Gamagard to Gamunex-C. Again, no problems whatsoever. I feel fortunate that I no longer fall and have only mild balance problems, along with NO REACTIONS to the products used in treatment."

For Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy "I have been on Gamunex C for over 4 years now. I have CIDP and before taking Gamunex C, I could hardly walk because of the pain, tingling, electric shock pain, weakness in both legs and feet and my balance was not good at all. Since taking Gamunex C, I have not had all the pain I use to have. My legs are not as weak and most of the tingling, burning, feelings of electrical shock and numbness has mostly gone away where it doesn't hurt to walk, I can sleep at night, and my balance has improved. It is pure gold. It has been a blessing. I look forward to my infusions twice a month. For years prior to being diagnosed I was put on all kinds of pain medication. I am so glad I am off of those pain medications. Pain medications like methadone, percocet, and morphine. No more! I have had no side effects to Gamunex C."

For Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome "I've been on Gamunex since it was introduced. I take 60 grams every three weeks in about 2-1/2 hours. I have no side effects and pre-medicate with Allegra and Advil. It is by far the easiest tolerated of any of the IVIG products. I've used IVIG for over 30 years. Works for me."

For Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy "After 5 months of infusions, I feel better, although CIDP symptoms persist. Side effects were mouth sores, swollen lips, both with white blisters starting after three days, resolving after two weeks. Significant coverage of chest and back rash, large red blotches. Start on the fifth day and resolve after forming black scabs after three weeks. Will continue with last treatment and then quit."

For Multifocal Motor Neuropathy "Great medication for my Myasthenia Gravis (a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease), but very expensive. Company is not helping with cost if you have MG . They are using FDA guidelines...I will need to stop using it after several years."

"My Mom was switched to Gamunex-C once the pharmacy ran out of Gammagard. Her maintenance dose was 65 mg every two weeks. It didn’t improve her weakness or relieve the effects of her Myasthenic Gravis at all which we didn’t understand. It was as if she didn’t have an infusion at all."

For Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy "Great medicine. Have severe CIDP symptoms. Yesterday had my first infusion, that night felt like millions of ants inside me building me up. Have had four more infusions 11mg/kg, pretty heavy dose, but helps."
