He thinks it may be a possible compound fracture of my back. Also, he wants to do another x ray of my back, another EMG on my legs, blood work and a cat scan of my sinuses - I've also had wicked headaches followed by nosebleeds......yuck!

I start another round of IV IG next week - during which time I am to lower my pred to 30 mgs a day - YAY!

For those of you that pray, please do so! I am a bit scared!

Big hugs!
Erin
It's good to go down on the pred., but you will miss the energy that goes along with it.
I am so sorry to hear about your back.
As for the emg, I you do good !
Mary
