RecipeForDisaster Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago It’s going to be a problem. One infusion pharmacy here discharged all their hydration patients who don’t use it daily on a consistent basis, and reduced the daily ones to half their usual volume. I have 16 liters or so left, and really hope it gets me through to my next possible refill. I need 6-8 liters the week of IVIG at the very least. I’m hearing they won’t have a reasonable supply until summer. My infusion nurse and doctors will fight for me, but I think there are hard and fast rules in place, and it won’t matter. The big hospital system in MA has canceled non-emergent, elective procedures for this reason. It’s scary stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
