Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 My Neuro wants me to try it as well. I have an appointment in 2 weeks and if my flare up hasn't gone away by then he wants to start plasmapheresis. I've never done it but I heard that people have good results. I'd also like to hear what others have to say about it. Keep the faith baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I went through 5 treatments of this,due to a very bad flareup!!It worked wonders.My symptoms went away!The only side effect is that you can feel more fatigued afterwards,but there is plenty of time to take naps in the hospital,if that is all you are having done.I 've been through alot with my MS (secondary Progressive)And this plasmapoheresis really helped-Any more qusestions just let me know-they do have to put in a special port in your upper chest wall,to access your blood supply...hopes this info helps...Where will you being having it done>Â Pam G Subject: Plasmapheresis To: mscured Date: Friday, March 4, 2011, 11:29 PM Â Anyone have Plasmapheresis yet?
