Just thought I'd say hi.
I have MND and have been trying IVIG for the past 8-9 months. We just stopped it....9 months ago I had symptoms/EMG changes in only my right arm...now I have some subtle changes in my back and left hand (although I can't tell that there are any changes).

I'm still working, but a bit less. I like my job, and its a space where I can pretend nothing is wrong...that's really nice.

No clue how fast or what will happen tomorrow, but that's life.

I'm grateful for you all sharing, it helps to read sometimes.

Welcome Kim. I notice you’re from Pacifica. Are you following at Forbes Norris? You might be a good candidate for the NurOwn stem cell trial that they are doing (see my thread under Drug Trials), though I don’t know if the recent IVIG would disqualify you.

I hope your progression remains slow.
 
I don’t think I’d qualify. My progression so far has been really slow. I first noticed cramping/weakness in my hand about 3 years ago. The trial sounds fascinating though.
