Awesome! Awesome!

Sooooooooo, Friday was my last "official" monthly IV IG....had my PICC line pulled and EVERYTHING! Woo-hoo! No more weekly visits to the Methodist - no more monthly IV IG - no more PICC line to worry about! I feel FREE!

I am still @ 20 mgs of pred, but hopefully even that will be reduced to every other day - I'd love to lose some of my post med induced weight gain...

Walked a mile on my treadmill and cannot wait to go into work 2morrow!

Loving my IMURAN - I think it is finally doing it's thing!

What a great day!

I hope all of you are feeling strong and HAPPY today!

Big, big hugs!
Erin:D

Way to go!!!! Isn't it a wonderful feeling knowing you can do things again! :hug:

Great news Erin! How do you know this will be your last treatment? If you get IVIG monthly, don't you need to see how you feel in a month? I am so confused by all of this. :eek: How long did you have the PICC line in?

So glad things are good for you. I just finished my two days of IVIG and I now have my strength back. The "juice" does wonders. If I could just get rid of these nagging side effects, I would be ok. I hope they go away in a couple of days. Again, so happy for you and remember to not overdo!!

Hello there!:D

It was my "scheduled" monthly IV IG - if I need a quick "pick me up", I'll go back in and have another PICC line put in.....God willing, I won't!:D

My neuro thinks I'm stabile enough now to go without monthly treatments, but you never know! I do love the fact that I am now down to 20 mgs of pred......maybe I'll finally look like a woman again! LOL:D

I had my line in for 5 months - an eternity in my book - and would reduce my pred after my monthly visit. I have a very aggressive neuro who does not want to see me crash AGAIN! Did I mention how much I love this man?:DI will not miss my weekly visits to have my line flushed @ all, though I will miss the nurses.

The whole goal is to get me down to 20 mgs of pred every other day - 15 just made me crash......:(

We'll see how it goes......if you pray, please do so for me! I would love to not have to go the hospital again - EVER!:D

Big, big hugs!
Erin:D
