This site does not provide much information so you will need to depend on your doctor providing info. It worked so well for your recovery, didn't it?

Researchers have found that people who receive intravenous immunoglobulin seem to have an increased risk of a stroke.
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a common treatment for a wide range
of neurologic and blood disorders. There have been sporadic reports of
stroke linked to IVIG since the mid 1980s. Wake Forest University School
of Medicine now reports on the largest collection of cases of IVIG
linked stroke.
In a group of 16 patients, 14 experienced a stroke either during or
within 24 hours of IVIG treatment. In the others, the stroke occurred
within four days of treatment. Fifteen out of sixteen had one or more
risk factors for stroke, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. The
overall risk of IVIG linked stroke is very small – just 0.6 per cent of
patients receiving the treatment in a four year period, say the
researchers. But this study suggests it is important to identify those
most at risk of stroke before giving them IVIG treatment.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,116 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
