Only you Erin, I bet the hospital and Dr staff smile when they know you are coming because your attitude is so inspiring!

I like DesertFlowers idea. Mints or hard candies to suck on is always a good idea because that way if they have weak facial muscles they can just let the candy "melt" and the flavor last a long time.
As for the IVIG and Pred.. I can't take pred as I react to badly to it and I am afraid to try the IVIG but if I go into a crisis I will try it

Now when I did take Pred many years ago, I was on 60 everyday for a year and then weaned ogg it for a year, then remission
Good luck my MG friend
