Gene,
You're really being hit hard! What a rude introduction, I'm so sorry.

It does get better, but you will have to REALLY take it easy until you get through this difficult period. Don't expect the meds to pull you out real quickly if the IVIG has had a few days and still isn't working - it didn't do anything for me either.

You have an official excuse to do some serious , and I hope you'll take full advantage of it. Do you have someone at home with you? Let them wait on you - even short walks through the house were too much for me when I was in that state.

Once the right meds and dosages are set for you, you'll start to feel better. I know it's sooo scary.

Take it easy and . Post when you're up to it or if you need some info. There are so many here with all different degrees of the disease so I'm sure we'll be able to help you through this!
