Ivig.i take for myasthenia gravis but also given for numerous others cond. if given for pidd, then we/i also should "stay healthy"?

IVIG may help: Often IVIG is helpful for primary immune deficiency. It is not common to also have an autoimmune disease, and it is not clear what the other conditions are. IVIG is possibly useful for suppressing myasthenia and immune deficiency, although it is not perfect.
