Never feel guilty about venting on this site. Ive done it many times. I find that usually only people with this illness that can truly understand how you feel. You can try and describe what its like to other people that you are close too, but they will never really get it as they dont live it.

Its like if someone else says they have a toothache, you can sympathise but you dont really know what its like unless you have had a toothache yourself, but you can only relate it to your own experience and maybe your toothache wasn't as bad as theirs.

I hope the IVIG helps.

Love
