Join Me On My Health Journey 💁🏻‍♀️IVIG - IV Immunoglobulin [Read Desc.]

Living with an autoimmune disease. Thank you for joining me on my Health Journey that started beginning of 2025. Being diagnosed with MOGAD = Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein. In February; after I lost partial vision in my right eye. Doctors ran lots of tests, labs, bloodwork, MRI & CT scans. Doctors don’t know how I got MOGAD; but they know how to treat it. What is MOGAD; it’s a rare, neurological & autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). Which in my case my own immune system is eating at my nerve sheaths. On top of that 2 decades ago; I’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, anemia and sleep apnea. Basically my own body is a stupid arse😝 doesn’t know good from bad. Thank goodness I’ve been weening off steroids. If anyone has taken steroids it has the worst side effects. “iykyk” Hence my moon face; a steroid side effect. Where it’s caused by fat deposits in my cheeks. My hooded eyes are swollen; which makes my face more swollen. It's often linked to high cortisol levels, which can be caused by medical conditions or long-term steroid use. Also gaining weight; I’ve gained 30lbs in a 3month span. I have to watch my diet; eating lots of salt or sugar makes me feel horribly heavy & swollen. My new journey of IVIG = Intravenous Immunoglobulin begins. It's used to boost the immune system in people with various conditions, including immunodeficiency, autoimmune diseases & inflammatory conditions. IVIG can help the body fight off infections and reduce the effects of inflammation. After my IVIG infusion was done; I felt very tired and exhausted, had a mild headache. The side effects for the next 48hrs is feeling like I’m coming down with flu symptoms. So far; I’m feeling very tired, mild headaches and sinus pressure. Nothing I can’t handle; I’m taking it easy & sleeping a lot. Besides all of the horrible side effects. I wake up daily; thanking god for another blessing. Most days.. it hurts, I’m tired, exhausted, cranky and bitchy. Everyday is different; I live by my motto “One Day At A Time!” I’m so grateful for my greatest supporters; my family. They understand me; and are very patient with me. When it gets bad I put myself on a timeout. Nobody wanna put up with my bs. I sure don’t like it, I know my fam doesn’t. Comment below if you been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease; and if you have any tips to share. I’d greatly appreciate it. I’ll keep you updated on my Health Journey.
