By the third treatment, I had my eyes opened more and after completion of last two, swallowing, speech(diapraghm) has opened to improve. Wish I would;ve got some strength to mention. Although somedays are better than others it seems. I am now in my third week after completion of IVIG.
Best wishes...SUSTAIN and work to improve is the goal
