I still keep distance from my obgyne. She asked me to have ivig on my 26th week, how can I refuse without offending her? I really dont feel the need for ivig. I feel she was playing medicine. Ivig is not a miracle drug. I just wrote her a letter. I told her that I will welcome ivig infusion if there is immune rejection. My globulin is high and my albumin/globulin ratio is less than 1. Grrr... I feel the proper authority to give ivig was my immunologist not obgyne. ^.^
Just a backgrounder. I have crp + , 3 days after ivig on my first pregnancy. I had uticaria, fever, chills on the eve of my first delivery after the plasma infusion. How can a forgetful person suggest ivig to me? She told me she had a patient who suffered hair loss because of Imuran. I asked her two times already... Is she 100% sure the hair loss was caused by imuran? I feel her patient had hair loss because of ivig. I believe in the theory of molecular mimicry. Anti- h. Pylori anitbody must be attacking a certain gene that resembles h. Pylori. (Or it triggers autoimmune response.) To me, alopecia is not so scary. I am scared of anti- klebsiella antibody. Some study shows that patients with active anterior uveitis have high titer of anti- klebsiella antibody. Klebsiella has six peptides (or few peptide sequence) that ressembles hla-b27. I am worried about the cross reactivity betweed hla-b27 and anti-klebsiella antibody. I dont want to get uveitis from ivig. My stubborn obgyne yielded. Hehe, shhh... I never discussed my theory with my immunologist. I will try next time.
