Sorry for the delay in updating, but between in-laws visiting from out-of-country, home construction, wedding planning, and a wedding, like has been crazy!
Well, it's official. I've been approved for a trial period of IVIG and have started it. I am still having sinus infection problems and am requiring medicine for that, but at least I have started it. Although I was lucky to only have a few weeks, from diagnosis to first treatment, I feel like I have been waiting for years for this to happen. Sometimes, it's really hard to deal with life when there is just too much happening all at once. That would be the simplest way to describe my life right now. Even when you are strong of character and feel as if you have the ability to handle a lot, we all have our limits. While I am very thankful for a diagnosis, for an answer, about what is going on with me, I also feel very impatient in waiting for the treatment for that to start fully working. While I know no treatment is guaranteed, you don't know until you try. While I have been living with this unknowingly for so long, when you finally do have an answer, you want to get everything jump-started right away. You are anxious to begin a new, hopefully better, quality of life. For me, I love to be out in the world and to be active. Having an immune disorder has been, in some ways, very draining on a person's spirit. The fatigue accompanying this disorder really impacts a person's quality of life, especially when being less active is not who they are.
