And years later, after a remission, when I went into crisis but was finally put on some medication (mestinon and prednisone), I still needed a walker but never got so bad as to need the chair again. It wasn't until I was on all the correct meds (IVIG) and got strong enough that I was able to walk unassisted. For me, it was all med-related.

I hope that helps, debra
