I should have known it was too good to last. Was up several times last night going to the bathroom.

My blood sugar was really high this morning. I’m hoping it’s because I took my last med so late last night. Then again, higher blood sugars may be the reason why I was going to the bathroom so much last night.

I’m going to see my neurologist this morning and get an update on my treatments and how far I’ve actually progressed. I know I’m stronger, but I also know there are things I still can’t do.

I’m hoping she can give me a "general" idea of what to expect from here.


Good news!

I’m getting more of my reflexes back! I now have reflex action or re-action in all four limbs. It seems the combination of Prednisone and IVIG is working, so much so, we are once again cutting back on the Prednisone dose. I’m now down to 30mg per day.

I asked Dr. Schecter about extending the time between IVIG’s to 3 weeks, but she said she wants to wait to see how I do with the reduction of Prednisone first. If I’m able to handle the reduced steroid amount without any adverse side effects, then she will see if I’m able to go three weeks between IVIG’s. If I’m not able to go three weeks between IVIG’s then we will know it’s the timing issue of the IVIG and not the reduced steroid amount.

Overall, we are both pleased with my progress to date.
