ivig infusion and back surgery
I start IVIG Infusion on Monday 14, 2025. Five straight days then followed by "maintenance days" of IVIG.
During the "maintenance days" , has anyone had back surgery ?
How does the surgery team/doctor handle MG, steroids intake for MG, IVIG Infusion while conducting surgery and anesthesia ?
Do I stop taking all medications & infusions ?
Is there anything special the doctor/surgeon should be aware of ?
Any advice or experience ?
Thanks,
Hello! Those are great questions!
This article shares some advice on what kinds of things you should bring up with your doctor prior to surgery. I hope it helps!

https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/surgery-preparationThere is a long list of anti-biotics that should not be used for people with MG. The only one I was given was by mid line IV for 14 days (not surgery). You should find out about any anti-biotic that they will give you and clear it with your neurologist.
