Its Alive!

One of the biggest complications with CIDP I have is my left leg. I can't feel most of it due and when I do feel it it is usually pain or parasthesias. So last night while laying in bed I was going through my usual nightly meditation. Part of my meditation is mentally going over my body and tensing my muscles and then letting them relax. This technique allows my body to fully relax. When I got to my legs I realized something, I was able to move my calf muscle in my left leg! It has been about 6 months since I have been able to move it. This is all due to the IVIG treatment I have been receiving over the past 4 months.

I would like to thank everybody who has ever donated plasma. Without your donation I would not be able to receive your antibodies and my recovery would not be possible. I am ever grateful and in your debt.
