If the tests can't find them, it's not because you're in remission; it's because of the IVIG.
Am I making sense? I just did my taxes, and I think I have absorbed a little insanity from the IRS.

Yes, I asked my Neuro about that, and plus I had 3 rescure amounts of the IVIG through out the 3 1/2 months before taking the blood test. He said it could make a defferance but the fact is my swallowing has not gotten better so if I do have MG or its in remission it still not the answer to my swallowing problem.
The 2nd opinion neuro said I should stop the monthly IVIG's to see if I take a turn for the worse and then they will retest me and know if the IVIG is making a differance,
I was due today for my monthly treatment and I have to say I am a bit afraid to see how my body is going to do without it...time will tell.
