I have a weak immune system that requires supplementation, so very week I hook up to a pump and spend close to two hours infusion gamma gloubin into my system. I have been doing this for almost  6 years. I still get nervous before each treatment. But it has kept me healthy expect from one case of bronchitis for close to 6 years.

I had injections of that weekly over a winter when I was in 6th grade for a weak immune system.  It changed my life for the better.

@Sooner It is a weekly thing for me to keep my levels where they should be

@I am still oxox - Will you be able to get your infusion while you're on your cruise? Do you administer it yourself or does a nurse come to help you?

 

I know someone who gets infusions every two weeks and she has a nurse come to start it for her.

@Lovestheshores I do it myself and I will do it before I leave and when I return. I only had a nurse after I broke my hips. Its a very simple procedure
