May 19, 2009, 12:57pm (report abuse)I was diagnosed with CIDP (peripheral neuropathy) in Oct of 2007. I've been on IVIg since Dec. of 2007. Currently my medical insurance through COBRA pays for my IVIg but next year (2010) I will be on medicare. Without my IVIg I would have no life at all. I will go into serious state of relapse without the IVIg. Please pass this legislation so others like me can have some form of quality of life. Thank you, David Hines. Hope-in-motion.blogspot.com

July 17, 2009, 2:21pm (report abuse)My husband was diagnosed with XLA in childhood and requires IVIG in order to survive. His brother has the same genetic disorder. They are good, hard-working men who suffer unnecessarily w/o this. Please help!

October 20, 2009, 9:57pm (report abuse)I get two treatments of IVIG every 30 days. I tried to reduce them once to just one treatment and started to regress. I am now back to the two and maintain a reasonable existence.
My life would be spent in a wheel chair for not the IVIG. Please pass the S.701 and HR 2002.
