Does IVIG help at all? I read that you are on IVIG. I dont really understand how it works as Ive read it can restore mobility in some and have heard that from people in support groups I attended. I had hoped that was an option for me as Im wasting from the motor neuropathy and gastroperisis (not diagnosed but not having bowel movements) Do you have any recommendations or anything other than IVIG?
I wander why its the left leg? I wear an afo brace on my left foot and Ive noticed others like you mention the left leg. Reading your post makes me hate this disease even more and solidifies that it needs ****ing more research. So what that it isnt cancer? It kills ones quality of life to nothing. Maybe not for all but I know it can and will. Someone posted on this thread that this disease is no biggie when you get used to it ……I beg to differ. I learned about CAN from your posts and find that can relate to many of them.

With that said I really do not know what to say. I want to say something of meaning and not empty. My mind is fixated on my symptoms constantly so it is hard for me to get words out other than anything disease related. I will leave it at thanks for your reply and sharing. Hoping you at least got some sleep.

@megidigo IVIG panzyga helps if it is autoimmune related. That’s why it helps with CIDP and motor neuropathy. Mine is! It has given me back my balance and it has given me the capability to write my name. I don’t know about others but I had neuropathy prior to my fracture of the actebulum and four left hip replacements. I have Avascular necrosis and osteoporosis from the lupus. It had moved into my left knee. I was on IVIG as a child from age 7-18. The neurologist said if I would have stayed on it I wouldn’t be in this shape. Gee Thanks!
