first have to have lithotrypsy for the kidney stone then get to have IVIG after i pass the stone, they want to get rid of the stone because they are affraid all the fluid f4rom the IVIG might cause it to move and that would not make me very happy. wish me luck i go Monday at 8 am for the stone.

Best of luck Jojo. I had lithotrypsy a few years ago and it was a walk in the park compared to having the stones. The procedure was painless. I had to get dressed up in little paper shorts and paper top, and I think they gave a little mild sedation, and started an IV (not positive of that as it was a few years ago), then off to a big lithotrypsy machine that made a bit of noise. Then I went back to day care to be monitored for a couple of hours while they made sure I could pee before they sent me home.

i had this done before, before GBS/CIDP. it was relatively easy, now i am in a lot of pain. the f un has just begun. Now i get to pass the remnants. Yeah!!
the medication they gave me during the procedure did not work I felt the whole thing and remember everything. -

But, like tumors or bad teeth, better to get it out! [Durned Spot!]
I’ve got some gallstones and I’m hoping they’d try that for me? Tho I’ve soo many med issues going on now….docs panic at all the possible complications… Me? I’ve come thru them all w/flying colors so far, and just don’t want ANY more new problems now?
I sure hope you let the docs KNOW that you KNEW of everything going on? It sure isn’t ‘fun’ to hear an ‘UH OH’ and be essentially paralysed and not able to do anything!
I truly hope that all is going along a heap better now?
My heart is with you! -

check out sarcoidosis, just a suggestion. There is a connection with kidney stones and other issues you describe. It is just so difficult because so many autoimmunes overlap each other.

MRI was of my head not my pelvic floor. they are checking to see if the CIDP is affecting my brain and that could be causing the incontinence. go tomorrow for my results.
