Thumbs down Exhausted.....just exhausted!

Hello all! Sorry I haven't been on much but I have been so flippin tired! I have been sleeping 14-16 hours daily and wake up tired, plus my arms and legs have been really weak.

I spoke to Dr. I today and we have IV IG set up for next week, as I am planning on heading to upstate NY on the 9th to see my precious niece! YAY!

I am soooo ready for my IV IG! It makes me feel so great!

I start Monday of next week and plan on coming home every night - especially since I'm going to be away from Mike and Devon the following week, but think I really need this right now!

For those of you who do pray, please do so! I really need to feel better in order to see Lilli....

Love,
Erin

Smile What is it

Erin, your symptoms sound like mine from this post. I am fairly new and have not corresponded with you previously. Since I can't see your post at this time, I can't remember exactly what you called it, but what IS an IV IG? What is the nature of your treated condition? I really appreciate the information. I would have sent this by PM, but my connector is malfunctioning. Thank You. And I AM praying for you! billie

Heart HI Billie!

Hi Billie! How are you today? I have Myasthenia Gravis - a disease that causes terrible fatigue.

IV IG is a drug that is given to maintain my immune system - in my case help suppress it - via IV as my veins are SHOT due to all the meds I take.

If you are interested, my entire story regarding MG is @ www.mgsouthtexas.org - it is long, but explains everything in detail!

THank you for the prayers! They mean so much to me!

Bg hugs!
Erin

Default oh sweety

I'm so sorry you're felling weak and exhausted. I will say a prayer for you and I hope you feel better soon.

Enjoy your Lillie! That is if I don't talk to you before then.

Have a good night.

Kristie

Default Hey Erin

I hope that the IViG gives you the strength that you so need at this time, and I hope that your trip to see your niece goes awesome! Good luck with everything and I WILL pray for you!

Btw, I clicked on the link that put up for Billie....Your story is so moving, Erin! I mean I knew pieces of it from your posts here on the site, but had never actually read it in chronological order...What were those spots that they had discovered on your lungs?

Nicky
