I have prescribed a three-day course of IVIg-less IVIg for myself, to be administered at home without the IVIg. In other words, I am confining myself to my bed and easy chair for three days, with only as much up-and-around as I could manage if I were pulling along an IV pole.

I am sure that the enforced rest of getting infusions isn't the only benefit I've received from real IVIg, but I think it may be a part of it. So.

I realize most people aren't in my happy position of being able to declare a three-day rest like this. I'm counting my blessings (and recruiting my children).

Sounds like a great idea. I think a few days of rest can do wonders to MG. As long as you don't use this improvement to fill up for those lost days.

Be sure to let us know how this works. It seems to me that sleep does more for me than IVIG or mestinon.

Yeah, there will be some catch-up to do...but I've timed this carefully. It's before school starts, and before my college-age kids leave for school. I will parcel out the chores. Anyway, this is an experiment. If it really helps, I will declare un-IVIg days in the future, too.

Mmmmmmmm...............REST!!!!! .....

Simply the most wonderful concept...........Ever!!!!!

It sounds like a good plan anyway. I can't wait to hear how it turns out! I think that it would be nice to declare a 3 day holiday.

Well, I sure am disappointed in the results of my three-day rest. I'm worse than ever. Of course you never know--maybe if I hadn't rested, I'd be much weaker than I am right now. Anyway, I seem to be back to where I was before I started getting better in May.

Phooey. Well, it was worth a try.
