IVig treatments begin and she will have five visits. She seemed to tolerate everything pretty well. During the treatments she only had a couple of minor headaches, but nothing a little medicine didn’t take away. The second day of the treatments, the neuromuscular doctor stopped in to speak with us. He told my daughter that he had several doctors review the muscle biopsy and it was showing a autoimmune nerve problem, rather than muscle problem, as originally thought. He said that steroids and IVig are often used for nerve issues, so he would be continuing the plan she was on. He wasn’t able to give an exact diagnosis yet, but a diagnosis of a neuropathy was better than that of myopathy. He wanted another EMG, making my daughter very unhappy. He would be in touch soon.
