Smile Hi Jenna!

Hey there! You are so right about the infections.....my neuro says that I get sicker than any of his other patients......but I had a terrible dentist who shaved my teeth down waaaay too far for m crowns and have had over 30+ root canals to date!

I am so happy to hear you are feeling better! THat is awesome! How much Imuran are you on now?

THat is so smart to take care of the kids stuff now - you never know what 2morrow holds, but I bet in your case, you are going to feel GREAT for a long time!

It sounds like you hve a GREAT support system! That is so important!

Big hugs!
Erin

I think once the infections are all cleared, you will have a fighting chance of getting your MG on a more even plane.

I recently had some plasmapheresis & IVIG,my Imuran has been raised A LOT and I'm back on Prednisone. A "low" dose of 15.

I haven't felt this good in a long time, but am so afraid it will be short- lived. I've been running around with my head chopped off.

I'm trying to buy school clothes for the children now; in case I'm down for the count in August.

My helper will stop coming for the most part when school starts.

My dh is rearranging his hours at work. He will be at home to get the children on the bus in the AM, just in case I can't. Kindergarten is all day here. My mother will meet the bus in the afternoons, if I can't. I just have to phone her.

Erin, MG is going wax & wane. Everyone's severity of it is going to be different.
I have learned to do things when I feel well, even if the timing doesn't make sense to anyone else. Christmas shopping in June? If that's when you feel well, do it then. Eating a steak at 6 AM? If that's when you can chew it, enjoy your meal.

Best of luck to you and try to stay cool in the severe heat.
Jenna
