I saw Dr. Schecter today and we are very happy with the results.

I’ve lost some weight (about 7 pounds); my grip is stronger than last time and my reflexes are definitely getting stronger. My knees actually jerk when hit with the rubber mallet. My arms are still a little unresponsive, but they are getting there.

She also lowered my prednisone dosage again, down to 22.5 mg per day. Nancy said that once you start lowering the dosage below 20mgs, you need to be careful, because the body will really start tot notice the difference in the amounts.

Once the six/eight weeks of this lower dosage is up, we are going to try a once a month schedule for IVIG again.
