I was diagnosed at that age, but I was a quadriplegic. It took them a full year to diagnose me. This was over thirty years ago. I am on a regiment of IVIG but when I was diagnosed they didn’t use it, they used extremely high dose prednisone. That stuff nearly killed me! I found IVIG on my own and brought it to the attention to my doctor.
