The Safety of IG Therapy
Is immune globulin (IG) therapy safe? As the patient advocate for IG Living magazine, I am asked this question frequently by both new and existing patients. My first response is always, "Yes!"

Purchasing a Medigap Policy
The U.S. healthcare system has many complexities and moving parts. But, perhaps the most complex part is Medicare, which has multiple coverage components.

Understanding Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), also referred to as myositis, affect between one and eight in every one million people in the U.S.1,2 This group of disorders, characterized by inflammation of the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles), usually appears in adults between ages 40 years and 60 years or in children between ages 5 years and 15 years, although it can affect anyone at any age. And, for some unknown reason, two types of IIMs affect twice as many women as men, while the other type is more common in men. [ full article ] |
