Have a nice weekend and good Memorial Day.

Well, Guillain Barre and CIDP are basically the same thing.  GB is acute, CIDP is chronic.  Treatment for both is immunoglobulin, which she has been given.  Still waiting (2 weeks now) for calf nerve biopsy results.  She got bounced out of acute care rehab to a rehab/skilled nursing facility yesterday.

Neurologist said, periodic infusions, physical and occupational therapy and it's anyone's guess how much she will recover.

@Bird mama, I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. And you also.

I need to get moving, have a lot to get done today, weather permitting. Good chat this morning. Hope everyone has a nice long weekend. See you around the boards.

Yea, I need to fire up the lawnmower and get it over with, rofl.

Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

I had two IVIG infusions a few years back, I sat hooked up to an IV for 5 hours, it was at the time my body could not fight infections I kept getting sick. Although I still have low IVIG levels I am better able to fight infections

In ground pool?  Stupid question about pools in general - do you have to drain all of the water out and then refill with fresh water?  

My sister had an above ground pool for a few years - I never swam in it and don't remember what was involved other than she shocked it?

@Bird mama, yes, inground pool. It's big...18' wide X 36' long. We just drain it down below the skimmers (I think that's what they are called), and then just add that back in the spring/summer. The worst part of opening it up is getting all the leaves off that fall onto the cover during fall/winter, they are nasty, wet. I got that done this week, but as I said everytime I'm just about to the point of taking the actual cover off the skies open up again, lol. I probably should just hire it done, but, you know how I am, if I can do it, I'm gonna. Soon enough I'll have to give up, but not yet.

A couple houses and children ago, we had a pool.  There is so much work to it that we decided to let the neighborhood kids clean it (the ones who swam with our kids and wanted to swim this season).  It had to be supervised but it was easier on my back.  Young boys will work if there is something in it for them.

I have MS and can tell you that I have met many over the course of 20+ years who were misdiagnosed with one for the other including MS.  The treatment is similar.  There are other neurologic diseases also that mimic one another including ALS and Huntingon's chorea.   Some times even the best teaching universities have trouble ferreting out the proper diagnosis early on.
