It has taken me forever to get back to posting as I found out I also have myasthenia gravis. The neuro ordered blood work while I was in the hospital for the IVSM and the test for MG came back really high with 0-17 being in the normal range for the antibodies test and mine was 77.
So I am getting the IVIG and the insurance coverage will cover the cost! IVIG is officially the treatment for MG. Isn't this a wonderful outcome for treating both the MS and the MG. I can't believe the cost for the IVIG is $10,000 a vial and I will be having it for 5 days straight.
I actually started it today along with some solu-medrol and benydryl in the mix. Maybe I will start to feel like a human being again soon. It makes the next five days as an outpatient staying at the Infusion Center all day a treat. My husband is driving me as my legs are so weak I don't trust myself to drive at the moment.
