IVIG isn't usually the first treatment given for MS. Usually the first line of treatment is one of the CRAB drugs, with IVIG used as an add-on. (Technically, though, some people's first treatment is steroids because they first present with a significant exacerbation. Then they start one of the CRABs.) When I had IVIG, it was an add-on to Avonex. Different doctors have their own rationale for how they decide on treatments for individual patients, so your DH's neuro obviously has reasons for wanting to start with IVIG.
