My husband used to be a very robust, intelligent man. While he is still extremely intelligent, he is almost bedridden, has an unbelieveable amount of excessive sweating from head to toe, entire body itches, has rashes that have broken out over head, face and down back of neck. He is unable to walk more than 20 ft or less before being unable to continue and must sit down in a wheelchair. He had chronic aches and pains accompanied by muscle cramps throughout his upper and lower extremities. When excessively tired, is unable to speak and has difficulty knowing what to do such as sitting down. I have had to pat on the bed and tell him several times he needs to sit down before it registers. The doctor says it is a problem with the autonomic nervous system not sending complete communication messages from the brain, to the heart, and to other muscles. We are hoping to get him on IVIG thereapy soon. Would love to hear from others that may have this disorder. We live on prayers and faith
