Thank you for the update.

We have had some people here on IVIG... but not many.

If you search "IVIG" in our search engine those posts will be listed. If you do the search on the PN forum, the search will confine to that forum only. The search bar is on the upper right of the first page.

Improvement is good. Sometimes it takes a while. Go slowly on your exercise until you feel stronger, to protect yourself from falls. You can try some isometrics in bed. I learned this in physical therapy and it helps strengthen muscles and stretch with minimal risk.
One was a modified "walking" in bed. Lying flat flex the leg so your heel drags lightly on the bed. Bring it up and back down,
10 times on each side. Doing contraction, hold to a count of ten and release of the glute and thigh muscles in a sequence also helps while lying down to move blood and lymph around.
I always flex and relax my feet every night, since most of my PN foot pain comes then.
Perhaps you could ask for a PT referral? I also had some exercises PT supervised that strengthened lateral movements to help with balance.

Thanks for the suggestions I am going to try the isometrics and I think I will ask my Rheumo for PT referral. I also have a question for you. I remember you suggested awhile back using grape seed tablets. At the time I had started the R lipoic acid and wanted to do one thing at a time. I brought the grape seed but never started it. Can you tell me what it is used for I can't remember.
Hopeful

The grapeseed extract is an antioxidant free radical scavenger.

It seems to dampen allergic reactions for both my hubby and I, during allergy season. Some people on RSD forum found it helpful over the years to prevent RSD spread in the body.

This link gives new information about grapeseed extract's effects on liver metabolism of drugs:

I don't take it all the time, only when allergic symptoms are bothersome. Neither of us have ever had side effects from it.

I think getting some professional help from PT would be very beneficial for you. They can teach you stretching safely, and exercises for balance, and strengthening muscles in just a few short visits.
