Guest guest Posted March 16, 1999 Report Share Posted March 16, 1999 Dear , Thanks for answering. How do you measure CMI? - this is new to me. Too bad about the supplement; there is a lot of snake oil out there! Also, I keep hearing about NK testing. Would a PCP do that or a specialist? Have you been following interferon thread? It's something I'd like to try if it seems reasonable. Also thinking about going to Cleveland Clinic for evaluation, as I also have lupus, sjogrens, and everything else! I will forward to list. Take care, CHristie Tabacchi tab@...
