Hi Donna,

Plasma transfer is used because the plasma from a normal patient helps

to lower the immune system in a patient going through a relapse. Its

quick. He is probably showing signs of a very high immune system right

now. It isn't done very often, although I think they should.

It is also done for patients with very low immune systems, to help boost

their immune system to fight whatever is ailing them.

We did find out it was a relapse. The spinal lessions were active and for lack

of a better word growing. I spoke with the Neuro yesterday and he was

knoweldgeable about the Plasma Exchange treatment therapy. He would like to keep

my husband on pharmasuticals for now but is working with me to research other

non-conventional ways to treat this. For now DH is suppose to take Vitamine D (I

think it's like 1000 mg a day. i have to look). In the last 1 1/2 months we have

had alot of high stress things going on. A move (that was suppose to be good but

as it turns out... we'll see). Then I was in the hospital for hemipaligic

migrain again. Those are like a stroke except there is no damage done at the

time. Over time we are sure there will be damage done though.

So questions would be.... Does anyone know if CoQ-10 would be good for DH. It is

suppose to help with Neurological issues according to the neuro. I've been

prescribed it as a preventative for migrains. And I've also been prescribed

Magnisum. (both of these are bought over the counter so the big thing is would

they help him).

DH has left sided weakness to the point he is unable to currently use the left

arm or hand and the left leg is getting weaker. He still has the foot droop that

has never gone away. I'm just wondering if there is more I can do.

LDN will be something we further discuss when we have him more stable from this

hospital stay. Also he is a diabetic so steroids play havic with his glucose

it's not something we want him to stay on for long periods. Yesterday they gave

him 1000 mg of sodiumedrol in the hospital and his glucose was 568 (for any who

do not know your glucose should be under 127 to be normal and that's after

eating!)

thanks for any ideals
