Default THat does make sense
I guess taking so many darn pills every day really can mess with anyone's memory! I have just been feeling like I've been in a fog recently - augh!!!

Had mylast IV IG and felt AWESOME but waaaaaaay over did it and am paying the price! C'est la vie!!!!

How are YOU feeling? Did you have a great xmas?

It's my opinion that MG does NOT cause memory problems. I believe that's the general consensus of the medical community as well. I think it's simply the stress of living with a chronic illness and the effects of the meds we take to combat it that can cause the memory and cognitive issues. As for myself, my memory is as good as ever...much to my husband's disappointment. LOL

I am doing well right now. I had 6 weeks almost symptom free and then a one week "mild-moderate" flare up and now back to mostly good. I just infused 50 grams of IVIG this afternoon in hopes of making it through the next few weeks on a high note.

Christmas was peaceful. Visits with several friends and my mom. Everyone liked their presents and there were no "conflicts" of any kind.

Hope everyone else is heading toward the new year in a good state--physically and mentally!

Default Help with speech??
Does physical therapy help with speech?? I feel like I my lips and jaw are heavy...and I can't get the words out...I can puncuate anymore...words like specific...etc...I stumble when I talk alot.....My husband asks me to repeat what I say alot....I feel like people are staring at me..and wondering....I did tell my boss..but I haven't really shared all for fear that I might lose my job for someone who can communicate effectively...

My family doctor also put me on celexa (mild antidepressant)...and this has helped a little bit...to aid me in relaxing in social situations....

Has anyone had this problem??
