Oh, no, I thought I was in another group =========================================================== So you haven't had any specific treatment to resolve the immune stuff? And they didn't improve with antibiotics, even though many other Lyme symptoms got better? ========================================================== True, I have had nothing that has caused my immune system readings to change appreciably. My cognitive symptoms all but went away after 6 months of IV. My sleep *clock* also improved so I was actually waking up at a more normal hour. Still had the problem of being unable to fall asleep at a regular time but hope that will even out again too. So I still take a 2 hour nap during the day. If I don't, the next day I'm fairly worthless. My fatigue improved some also. I have had many different types of treatment to try to improve my immune function....allergy shots, gamma gloubulin IV " , Kutapressin, DHEA, various other supplements, etc....but none have changed my immune system profile significantly. My Natural Killer (NK) cells were initially around 25. The did improve after I started some treatments and stopped working to around the 130--160 range (over 400 being normal on this particular lab's test). The slowly rose consistently to around 250. But, since my divorce started, had to stop the IV, and had my gallbladder out, they dropped down to the 150 are again. My doctor says it's not like HIV, if the numbers improve you feel better. She says you have to reach the normal range before you will notice it. =========================================================== Thanks for your funny reply and not being offended at my anal opening reference. I have to remember that my opinion may not be shared by my neighbors to the south, and don't want to offend. ========================================================= Well, I grew up in Mississippi, which ain't exactly The French Riviera. But, I also lived in New Orleans, which, even though it has the same humidity as Houston, I much prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 I also read a cfs newsgroup, have for years, and have heard many success stories from taking the Whey but no so many taking the Transfer Factor, don't know if they are the same and of course when people start feeling better, they start doing more and post less. Sorry, my brain cell is out on vacation, perhaps if it comes back I will remember more!
