DQ alpha 4.1 match

My DH and I had immunity testing done and got the results on Wednesday. Everything tested fine except for DQ alpha 4.1 - we were a match.

The nurse said I will need to go through IVIG approximately 5-6 times at $4500 a time.

The money will be a challenge, but not knowing exactly what this is and what the treatment is actually doing is more concerning.

I am scheduled to have a phone conversation with my Doctor on Tuesday - but any information anyone has on this would be helpful.

I have googled like crazy and keep seeing the same writings.

Has anyone heard of this or have gone through this??

Thank you,
Carrie
