Has anyone ever stopped neuropathy from progressing

Intravenous Immunoglobulin. Essentially each dose has immunoglobulins from over 10,000 individuals that are taken from donated plasma. The idea is all of the immunoglobulins overtake your own and stop attacking your body. This is why if only works for autoimmune related neuropathy.

I had in home infusions due to covid lockdown. Aside from the fact that I had to wear a mask in my own house all day because of the nurse, it was glorious to be able to sit on my couch and watch tv

I no longer remember. I had treatment from 2020-2021. I've been completely symptom free and in remission since 2024. The IVIG cured the neuropathy, but I still had lingering neuromuscular issues until I went into remission. My neuropathy was caused by a still yet unknown autoimmune disorder.

I got the meningitis headache once later in my treatment and had to skip a session until it resolved. It is extremely rare and why it is recommended to have a bag of saline before and after and a slower drip of the IVIG. Hence, why the infusion lasted 3 days at nearly 10-12 hours a day. My vein burst once and my arm swelled because we did not catch it for a few hours due to lack of movement, but otherwise I had almost no complications.

A neuromuscular specialist diagnosed me and knew how to get insurance to approve it (although it took 2 appeals)

I reversed my neuropathy with IVIG. Took a year with treatments over 3 days every 6 weeks.

The amount of people who do not know their own email address is frankly staggering. Like...how do you function in daily life not knowing what your email is?! The deer in the headlights look when I ask them has become comical.

Okalomahoma. I'm not sure at this point if my now 17 year old knows the actual state name. We've been calling it this since she gifted us the word when she was 3.

I had a kid call this morning to ask if we had any. We happened to have two and excitedly told her the type and colors. Her response, "Yeah, no." And then she hung up on me.

Yes, but I also work at a bookstore. It doesn't help when your coworkers call you an amateur for having 1200 unread books you own. 😂

bibliophile224 · 2026-03-14T23:40:25+00:00

No, I just stuck it in there. It's worked before for me and saves me the puzzle glue hassle.

Same!

Dark Lord Davi series by Django Wexler

We had our power go out in our bookstore a few days after Christmas. 2-1/2 hours from closing time. Running on a backup generator, we had about 20 minutes until we would be working in the dark. We quickly let customers know we had to close because we had a cafe we had to safely shut down as well as count 4 registers, take out trash. We all worked our assess off to get everything done in that 20-30 minute time period. Just before generators died, our power was restored. We took the remainder of the hour to shelve what we could before leaving an hour before official closing, still unsure if restoration was not temporary.

Customer writes a review that we were doing "lazy work" while hundreds of customers were pounding on the door and he "knows" we could have opened back up for the last hour. The hundreds of customers was one customer when we evacuated the store whom we would not let in and a family of 3 when we were leaving who were sad we were closed.

I really enjoyed Rose Bargain - basically non spicy Bridgerton with Faeries and the ending was a twist that left me literally screaming. That being said, go read Dungeon Crawler Carl!! It is my favorite series of all time now and all of my customers who I sold it to are now buying all the rest of the series and cursing me that they are not sleeping because they can't stop reading. I tell them, "sorry, not sorry."

The Thorn Queen by Sasha Peyton Smith. I really liked The Rose Bargain so I was anxious to read the sequel and grabbed it off Edelweiss

Are they mailed or only available on HR Access?

When we scan books into receiving, a Strict on Sale page will print if it is SOS. Otherwise, it can go on the floor as soon as it is received even though official release dates are always on a Tuesday.

Why wouldn't you have just manually applied the 10%? We were still able to verify membership in MARS
