ivig infusions really helped her. Made her high blood pressure higher....all that extra blood that they are infusing into you. But, it's healthy blood cells they pump in. So, she had to take a diuretic to bring that blood pressure down and then had to go to the bathroom all the time. But, the ivig's will really help. And, you would think that exercising those muscles would make them stronger. But, in fact, the exact opposite is true. The more you rest the better you feel and you get some more strength. REST is key. Hard to do when you have been so active all your life.
Continued prayers for you, Art. Continued prayers that doctors and researchers find a cure for this horrible disease. |
