Yes. Treat-a-versary is a made-up word. But that's what I'm celebrating today! I have been on IVIG for over 10 years now. That's a long time.
Let's do a little math, shall we?
I've gotten one treatment about every 4 weeks for the past 10 years. That amounts to about 130 treatments. Each treatment is pooled plasma from between 1,000 to 10,000 donations That means, conservatively, I have benefitted from over 130,000 plasma donations. Let's say each plasma donor gives weekly... that means I have benefitted from the generosity of around 250 people.
Amazing. People are amazing. Science is amazing. Medicine is amazing.
