I'm so sorry you're going through this! It must be so hard to be so weak with a new baby. I will try to appreciate a little more today the things that I can do.

From what I've read here, I have the impression that it's common for the first IVIg treatment not to do much. If they offer you another try, don't automatically rule it out. It could help a lot more the second time.

There are other drugs besides Prednisone that you could take, like Imuran (azathioprine). They suppress your immune system, like Prednisone, but they don't work as fast, which is probably why you were given the Prednisone.
