IVIg on Saturday May 23rd 2009 with nurse Allean!

New Symptoms-Not Good!

I was just getting ready to lay back down and think about my new symptoms that started at day break Monday March 9th, 2009.

Then I thought, mmmmmmmm (thinking)mmmmmmm. I have only shared this with my Mother, Father and the doctors and nurses at Desert Regional Hospital on Wednesday March 11th, 2009.

I awoke and instantly said to myself, Ut Oh..that is not good.

My right hand, fingers, wrist, arm and shoulder were tingling, (burning which is normal for me) and limp. I could not grasp and hold my tooth brush (i'm right handed).

I could not raise my arm above my elbow. This was not right at all and I got scared. That is why I didn't go to the hospital until Wednesday, two day later. I did not contact my neurologist yet. He is about 50 miles away.

The hospital did blood work, MRI etc., etc. and nothing. The emeregency doctor said it's neurological but he couldn't put his finger on it and tell me for sure what had happen. I went to my support group yesterday and did not share this new problemo. Stupid for me but I am very uneasy about this and I'm not sure If I can handle more bad news. So, I'm sharing now. I called my neuro tho'yesterday and left a message with the nurse. I will be right on it Monday AM.

Please keep me in your prayers.

God Bless and Thank you for reading and listening to me.

God's Grace and Healing!

Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !

As always God gets me through the hard times (and good). I awoke this morning to a beautiful day, it was sunny with clear skies, as always in the desert, and it was about 70 degrees! I went into another remission and I also had another IVIg infusion given to me by my favorite nurse "Kathy" !

I have been able to catch up on some much needed mail and phone calls but also trying not to catch up all in one day to overload my self. Tomorrow is another trip to my pcp in Lake Elsinore.

All the Glory to God!

Reaching unto Christ's full stature,

IVIg infusion update with important news for all !

I am undergoing my last IVIg infusion as I speak. My Neurologist, Dr. Raja Boutros of the Neuro Center Medical Clinic in Murietta, California saw me on Oct

7th and concluded that I am responding to the treatment and ordered that I continue the treatment for at least another 6 months.

The company that is in charge of my IVIg treatments is Crescent Healthcare in

Orang County, California. After I moved out to the Desert I have had a new nurse

Kathy. I truly enjoy the days that she comes to administer my IVIg for my CIDP.

We have some very enjoyable conversations. I hope to have some photo's to share with you in the near future.

I am so thankful to God for all He has done in my life. In hindsight I can see how He has been in charge of my life and all that He has done.

"The life of Jesus Christ is a message of HOPE, A message of MERCY, A message of LIFE in a dark world".

"Sometimes storms of life come to teach us that God is in control, that we must lean on Him and learn to be thankful for the richness of His blessings to us".

May God bless you all with His richness of blessings,

New nurse for my IVIg infusions this week

I will meet my new nurse this friday the 22th. The person in charge of nursing schedules at Crescent Health Care in southern Cal called me and told me her name is Kathy. I had the same nurse for over 6 months until I moved so now I get to meet the new one. I will update you on how it all turns out. I continue to strive to keep "Hope in Motion". God bless, David
