Has Anyone Had An Allergic Reaction With Immunoglobulins? What Laboratory Are You Using?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

My mother has light chain multiple myeloma, and she is on dialysis 3 days a week. We used to give immunoglobulins once at a time, but the last few times it has caused an allergic reaction, a kind of bruises on his legs a few days after giving them. Then they disappear over time, has anyone had this happen? Thank you so much.
