Tyson,
I'm doing my happy dance for you! It's so wonderful to hear that the IVIG has helped you!!! I know IVIG helps me and I am always happy to hear when it does the same for someone else. Just a word of caution for you.... PLEASE DON'T OVERDO IT even though you feel somewhat "normal" again! It's very tempting and easy to do once you feel better but always remember that you still have MG. You still need to pace yourself, rest when you need to and listen to your body when symptoms breakthrough again. I am praying that you will be able to find the right combination of medication along with an IVIG schedule that will help stabilize your MG. Enjoy your newfound strength!

I ,personally, have never felt worse in regards to MG after my IVIG treatments, only felt crappy from the side effects. We really don't know why a treatment works for one person with MG and not for another. As you know MG can be a very individualized disease. Don't give up though. It sometimes takes a while before they find out what medication and/or combinations of medication/treatment will work to help stabilize your MG.

I'll keep you in my prayers,
Shari
