Hey All - my doctor said that the mosquito repellant could have contributed to my quick decline. Have I learned a lesson. I was also doing too much this week, too, but I don't think that was all that was going on.

I had the IVIG and my neuro kept me at the hospital all day to make sure it was going to help. It did its magic and I'm breathing better - still pretty weak but I can breathe again.

I'm going to stay down all weekend and keep resting, so hopefully I'll feel stronger in a few days. My neuro is having me come back Monday just to make sure I'm headed in the right direction.

Thanks so much for all your good words. I hope everyone is hanging in there - thinking of you all.
