Hi, no more plex scheduled. I asked about an ivig to see if those will work but doc said no.
They tried the ivig when I couldn't swalllow at all but the only thing that worked was the plex to bring back the swallowing. Right now the doc is hoping that the azathioprine kicks in but I only started those on the 8th of last month. Its like feeling like superwoman then bam ur down again with the Plex. They cut the mestinon timespan out I used to use at night cut my pyridostigmine down to 3x a day every 8 hours. I really don't want another catheter in my neck the old wound hasn't even healed yet and its still bruised for more plex that is. Why I wanted to try the IVIG b4 I get too weak...
