Thanks Cate
My doctor spread my treatments out over 3 weeks. I'm thinking he did that because of my age. He is hoping the IVIG treatments will help me until the Imuran kicks in. The mestinon I take only helps me maintain my current status and doesn't improve anything however if I miss a dose my symtoms get worse. At least you and Tyson give me a glimmer of hope.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you see some improvement in the next week or two.
