Good One!

I had my monthly visit to the hospital to receive 2 days of I.V.I.G. and I spoke to the neurologist that diagnosed me.

He told me that the antibodies in my system affecting me have been decreased by the treatment.

The normal percentage of antibodies should be 5 or less.
Last year when I was diagnosed my antibodies were over 90.

Last Thursday the neurologist said my antibodies were fewer than 5 again, so it has had a dramatically positive affect.
Over time the treatment will reduce the build up of antibodies in my cerebellum.
HOPEFULLY returning me to the normal me.

I have been secretly VERY worried that what has been a HUGE disruption to me will also affect my two beautiful children at some point through their lives.

I didn’t know how they would test my children for this and have been quietly stressing that this filthy affliction would strike them too.

The neurologist assured me that what I have is an autoimmune illness and is NOT hereditary.

Thank goodness!

One less thing to worry about.
