Today diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Ugh.

Myasthenia gravis (my-us-THEE-nee-uh GRAY-vis) is characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of any of the muscles under your voluntary control. It's caused by a breakdown in the normal communication between nerves and muscles.

There's no cure for myasthenia gravis, but treatment can help relieve signs and symptoms, such as weakness of arm or leg muscles, double vision, drooping eyelids, and difficulties with speech, chewing, swallowing and breathing.

Asking for prayers Saints. Pray healing for my body.
At 9 this morning, I was preparing to take meds and leave for doctor’s appointment.
Unbeknownst to me I I had a seizure.
My Boobie #5 came in room and saw me shaking.
She was scared and called Irvin.
Irvin called my name several times after I stopped shaking.

I’m still tired. But now dialyzing.

Treatment for kidney failure
When you have kidney failure (also called end-stage renal disease, or ESRD), it means your kidneys have stopped working well enough for you to live without treatment. There is no cure for kidney failure, but with treatment many people with kidney failure are able to keep doing activities they want or need to do. Talk to your doctor about which treatment is best for you.

Well, my health is better due to 5 IVIG infusions. I'm speaking with more strength now. I'm able to walk, barely. Still using a Cane, and wheelchair for long distances. Still have insomnia. Can't sleep. But, keep trying different music. Ugh!

THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS!
God is so good. I’ve tried to get IVIG treatment now for Stroke-like symptoms, for more than a year. I have had 3 hospitalizations.
The last mini-stroke was in the office of my Heart Doctor. I was taken across the street to Huntsville Hospital.
I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OF THESE STROKE-LIKE INSTANCES, but frequently over the past 3 years, sometimes during dialysis.
I’m awake but very incoherent. I answered the last time with math problems. Hmmmm.
My neuneurologist says I have had 3 strokes before, as shown on a MRI.

BUT GOD HAS NOW APPROVED THE TREATMENT.
I START NEXT WEEK.

GLORY! THANK YOU JESUS!
