Thanks Liza Jane and Dalek,
LJ, I've printed off the abstracts you found and will take them to the rheumie and the neuro. It really does seem to be a crap shoot with the medications, doesn't it?! I'm not sure what to do next. If my husband were better, I'd probably do another trip to Mayo to see what they say and what treatment they'd recommend. We will see what happens next. I'm waiting on doctor's calls now.

Dalek, no one is recommending IVIG at this point. And I really really hate to start that. I don't like being pinned down by a medication like that. Isn't it a once a month dosing?

The neuro said that she wasn't sure what was going on with the increased reflex response and that maybe it was this spinal fracture causing the nerves to be more hyperactive. I know I'm in a lot more pain and I'm irritable and cranky because of it.

Looks like my treatment is all up in the air again.
