Heart Hi Joanmarie!

Hi Joanmarie! They smile cuz' I bring them pizza! LOL! Actually I am just so grateful to the whole staff @ the Methodist

I love your ideas as well! They are great!

Do you mind my asking why you are afraid of IV IG? Have you has a bad experience? For ME it has truly been GREAT! I don't even have to premed b/4 - just drink lots of fluids and I feel 100% It even gives the appearance of a mini eye job! LOL!

As for the pred., I am so happy to be going down! My entire body is swollen and it is starting to give me major anxiety......Don't get me wrong, I'm still VERY grateful for it, I just need a break for a while!

40/20 should do the trick. I may be a little weaker for a while, but I am blessed enough to not HAVE to work @ this point, so I can stay on the sofa all day if need be!

How are you doing?

THank you for the ideas! I really appreciate them!

love,
Erin

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
