Default Husband-UPDATE

It came out he had signs of celiac(nothing bad), HY-Pylori, and inflammation on endoscope. We got his prescription for IVIG for 5 days in medical facility for 6 months.
Well our disability filmed my husband being semi active- he isnt suppose to drive and did(Being stubborn but he is on roxicodone and fentanyl has spinal stimulator) He drove 1 mile- went 2 walmart w/ me, filled up gas cans by bending, then we ate and he mowed grass on riding mower with mask for 15 mins. So less than 2 hours and u could see his lidoderm patches. He had just came off of a weeks worth of IV steriods and anti;s so he was stronger than normal. They wanna take his disability away. Great. Normally he is in bed a min. of 4 days week, now how I am suppse 2 do IVIG?

Diagnosed with MG, Autonomic Small Fiber Neuropathy, Celiac Disease<BLood pos> and all his amino acids low and eosin high

Tomorrow we go for an endoscope for celiac and lymphoma. They said celiac could interfere with IVIG so they arent giving him anything for mg now.

I know so very little about MG, so I am sorry that I can not help you out there. After reading what you and your husband are going through, I just wanted to send a note to say good luck with your appointment tomorrow. You both will be in my prayers.
