Thanks for this Enbloc. I did ask my neurologist about IvIG but he looked nonplussed and said he didn't have a single patient like me (ie with a rheumatic disease?) on it. And this was after he had told me something had shown up. I guess the test will be how I do once I recover from this acute stuff and finish Prednisolone completely - I'm getting down to under 5mg next week.

Thanks again, Mat x
