November 20, 2008, 4:13pm (report abuse)My husband has been diagnosed with "body inclusion myositis"; and I understand FDA does not approve IVIg Rx for this disease. This is a rather new disease, but if diagnosed, what are we to do regarding payment of this rather expensive Rx? Is there hope of approval in the near future?
