IVIG and is there chances
 
Of improvement of strength by the end of treatment? I'm on day 4 and typing this is taking the little energy I have but it would be nice to know if it's possible to improve enough by Monday so that I can possibly go home and not to a rehab center. Breathing is ok but severe weakness in the rest of body.
TIA

Sorry but I don't think it will happen. It normally takes me several treatments.
Praying for you

When I had my first IVIG treatment - I woke up after the 2nd day and cried because I could breathe and smile just like I could before I was diagnosed with mg. It will probably happen for you soon! Hang in there!

I noticed improvement (slight) after that 2nd night, as I could swallow pills again.. for the first time in months, however I still felt pretty weak.. three weeks later when I had my first loading dose... i woke up that 4th day afterwards, grabbed my phone and immediately could tell my hands hand strength.. it was an absolute miracle.. it fixed me back to about 99%.. it was amazing!!!! Since I hadn't been able to smile for so long, I think I smiled until that IVIG wore off! Good luck, I hope you feel better soon!
