Plex treatments or apherisis is where they take out your bad plasma and put good plasma in. It is a plasma exchange and it has very good results with relapses. I would rather do these it goes over a three mth period.
I dont know what plex treatments are. Enlighten me if you can. I hope you have hopeful moments and feel stronger today.
Really watch those UTI, those always knock me on my MS ass! My urologist just have me another round of some strong antibiotics and with in a day and a half it has helped the cath spasms and pain, so please stay on top of those. I will be starting 5 days iv steroids on Monday right after my plex treatment I just pray that this will kick it all in! I also have a callin into our primary care to get that gi apt going so I can eat!!
Great to hear you feel you are healing. Your family photos are beautiful. If you lost 30lbs, you must have almost disappeared! Having MS and major surgery is a double whammy. I am having stronger muscle spasms in my back and shoulders. I also have a UTI again? WhTs that about? I began Tecfidera four months ago after being on Tysabri for 7 years so I am watching my symptoms carefully. No relapses....just stronger symptoms. We are in this together. Get stronger day by day.
Thanks Donna I think we might finally be making some progress! At least baby steps!! Better than nothing!
