I've recently started taking Hyqvia 30gm/300ml Inj for primary immunodeficiency. The doctor explained it helps my body fight off infections by providing antibodies. However, the list of possible side effects is quite long and scary. Does anyone have any experience with this? Are the side effects really as bad as they sound? I'm particularly worried about the severe lung problems and brain infection risks. Any tips on managing side effects or what to expect?

I've been using Hizentra 4gm/20ml Inj, 20ml for my Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) and I'm curious to hear from others who are using it. How has it been working for you? Have you experienced any unusual side effects? I've had some irritation at the injection site and general weakness, but nothing too severe so far. I'm just trying to get a sense of what to expect long-term. Also, if you have any tips on managing the injections or dealing with side effects, I'd love to hear them!.
