Alice,
He will experience many different things....just be patient and loving...My hubby has been there for me...and that has meant the world to me. I truly know what "love" feels like!
I have trouble with my speech and I slur at night...or "mumble" as my hubby says. My tongue feels big and I just can't form my words well...
Right now, I think I am in the
honeymoon phase because the IVIG has kicked in/ side effects from IVIG gone... and I have energy...just do not know how long it will last...before I slow down and need another treatment. I haven't felt like myself in a long time...and I have been myself for 2-3 days now!
Stephanie

Still waiting on insurance approval for the chest CT and the brain MRI.
He's had a couple of short periods of time when he's had trouble talking, his words slur, we don't know if it's the medications or a new symptom.
