Nervous about IVIG dose increase

Hi! I get 1x monthly IVIG for primary immunodeficiency (SAD), I’ve been on it for a little over a year. Overall my health has really improved, but after a nasty bug a few months ago I’m getting “breakthrough” sinus infections right before my infusions.

We’re raising my dose from 30g to 40g. I know it will help but I’m nervous about increased side effects.. I already hydrate like crazy, take premeds and get IV fluids but I usually have a 2-3 day recovery with flu-like symptoms. Has anyone here had a dose increase before? How were the side effects? Does anyone take a lumbar pillow for those dang infusion center chairs? Dreading a longer infusion time lol. Thanks in advance :)
