I am so sorry that your struggles are so ...Leelee,<br /><br />I am so sorry that your struggles are so hard now.<br />Faith has been the only thing I have been able to rely on this last year and I am happy you also have a strong faith. Even tho the New Testament has several references about making burdens light, this isn't how I pictured it before CIDP.<br /><br />Please feel free to contact me through email if you would like. My wife and I will be praying for you.mwilliams1220https://www.blogger.com/profile/13584142934595165752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736496181232829200.post-64993971316684871782011-01-22T06:12:01.068-05:002011-01-22T06:12:01.068-05:00Hi, I'm leelee and I just found this blog toni...Hi, I'm leelee and I just found this blog tonight, rather morning, had a friend over and couldn't get her to leave, lol So i'm up. I see where you guys were saying things about your IVIG and saying it's too much. When i go, i go to the hospital every 3 weeks for 5 days for 4 hours a day. I call 30 min before heading there, so they can fax the order down to pharmacy, i get there, they access my port, i order lunch, eat it and sleep through the rest till my IV beeps. This all started in June of 2010. <br /><br />I had skipped the month of January because that was my followup and it had to get changed twice because of major snow storm, lol in Atlanta right? it was a mess, so anyway during the visit he said there was more weakness and that the IVIG i was taking was not working. So starting the 31st he is changing a drug in the IVIG and do that one for the next 3 months and see what happens. He said if that doesn't work, then there is not much else he can do, which means that i will slowly die. I have other autoimmune diseases that i am fighting with also, one of which is what caused my CIDP, so i can't fight even a blood transfusion.<br /><br />It's taken me a few days to wrap this around my head, but i am coming to terms with it. I think. Trying to think positive, that's what we all have to do right?<br /><br />I am glad i found the original blog, that brought me here.<br /><br />LeeleeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197441328981674034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736496181232829200.post-87941565597311461492011-01-22T00:49:45.698-05:002011-01-22T00:49:45.698-05:00Please to meet you Lela.

I know that it comes in 450 ml dosage and takes about 3 hours to get it. I get it once a week at the local hospital. At first I was receiving it 5 days in a room every four weeks.<br /><br />I am hoping that my neurologist will reduce the frequency when I see her next month. I would also like to go down on the steroids...<br /><br />I would love to hear more about you and your treatment, please feel free to contact me at my email: mwilliams1220@gmail.com<br /><br />Talking to other people with CIDP has been a big help, although they are pretty few and far between around here.mwilliams1220https://www.blogger.com/profile/13584142934595165752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736496181232829200.post-75062499894800232742011-01-21T16:44:32.921-05:002011-01-21T16:44:32.921-05:00I just came across your blog yesterday and have no...I just came across your blog yesterday and have not had the chance to read very much, but look forward to doing so, your faith amazes me already and I have only read a few entries. I have a quick question for you if you don't mind, when getting ivig, how often and how much did you get? I am in the middle of a 12 week trial, had it 3 days the first week, and now once a week for the rest of the trial. I receive 20 grams each infusion (my dr bases it off weight and I only weigh 105lbs) I ask this because everyone I have come across says this seems like a lot of ivig, and it kind of concerns, but seems like from the little I read you received a lot too. I am sorry to ask a question on your blog when I don't even know you, I hope you don't mind<br />Thoughts and Prayerslelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877285173166255032noreply@blogger.com
