IVIG: Can Ayurveda Help with the Side Effects? - #16320

I’ve been receiving IVIG treatments for the past few months due to an immune deficiency, and I’m honestly starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by the side effects. I’ve had two rounds of IVIG so far, and while I’m noticing some improvement in my immune function, the aftereffects have been tough to manage. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about the benefits of Ayurveda, and I’m wondering if there are any natural remedies or treatments that could help me handle the side effects better. Here’s what’s been happening: after each IVIG infusion, I feel really fatigued, almost like I’ve been hit by a truck. The exhaustion sets in right after the infusion and can last for a couple of days, sometimes even longer. Along with the fatigue, I also experience headaches, muscle aches, and occasional nausea. My doctor mentioned that these are common side effects of IVIG, but it doesn’t make it any easier to deal with. It’s been especially tough because I’m trying to keep up with my daily routine, but the IVIG side effects are definitely slowing me down. I’ve also noticed that I’ve been more prone to catching colds or feeling run down, even though the IVIG is supposed to help my immune system. I understand that IVIG boosts immunity by providing antibodies, but it’s frustrating when I don’t feel as healthy as I’d like. My doctor says it takes time for the body to adjust, but I’m looking for ways to speed up my recovery and reduce these side effects. That’s why I’m curious if Ayurveda can help. Could Ayurvedic remedies be useful in reducing the fatigue, headaches, and other discomforts I’m feeling after receiving IVIG? Are there any herbs or treatments that could help me detoxify, boost my energy levels, or enhance my body’s ability to process IVIG better? I’ve heard that certain Ayurvedic practices can help with overall wellness, and I’m interested in exploring if they can help me feel better during the periods after the infusions. I’ve also read that Ayurveda may be able to help with balancing immune functions, which could be useful given my situation. Do you think Ayurveda has something to offer for managing IVIG side effects? If so, what treatments, herbs, or lifestyle changes would you recommend? I’m hoping to find something that can work alongside my IVIG treatment to help me recover more quickly and feel more like myself again. Has anyone had similar experiences with IVIG and used Ayurveda to help with recovery? What worked for you, and how long did it take for you to feel better after each round?
