In such pain last night and today.

There is no way I can make it to work, nor am I going to make it to my appointment next week I need to see Dr. Schecter TODAY.

Made it to Dr. Schecter’s office, she’s going to admit me to Rex tomorrow for IV steroid infusions. There is no way around it now, the IVIG alone is just not working.

Nancy also did another Nerve Conduction today. Results are below:

Summary/Interpretation: Compared with 04/14/05, the righ median, ulnar, peroneal and tibial moter responses are all a little slower in DL., fairly stable in CV, a little slower in CMAP amplitued, and F waves are still moderately slow. The right sural SNALP is now normal. The right medial SNAP is now absent. The right ulnar SNAP remain low amplitude and slow.

Impression: Mild worsening of slowing in motor nerves, with further disperioni of CMAP resulting in lower amplitudes, compared with 3 months ago. Some sensory nerves improved, others a little worse. Overall mild progression of CIDP, after several IVIG treatments. Clinical correlation recommended.

How much more am I going to have to endure?
