I seem to be getting a boost from my IVIG already. Last time I waited two full weeks. This time it's only been five days. I am walking almost normally, and today I carried two mugs of coffee in my right hand--before, my fingers were too weak to carry even one by the handle.

I wonder why this one is working better than the last one (which I had in February). I suppose it could be that I've been on Imuran since April. Anyway, this is encouraging! I was just starting to think that the treatments aren't worth it, what with five days spent on the infusions, and the headache (which is now treatable with ibuprofen). I'm not an emergency case, since I don't have trouble breathing or swallowing. But we'll see how long this lasts me. It sure is nice to have some energy again. The cool weather may be helping me as well.
