a Steroid IV Drip at home for the next three days starting 06/21/2011, this should help with the rejection. I will keep you all posted as to how I’m doing and if not me my sister Virginia. As of today 06/23/2011 I’m finished the drip and I’m feeling really good. Dr. Lee was happy to see the numbers were up in my Spirometer test scores were in good range. He put me back on Cellcept or the name Mycophenolate 500mg twice a day this pill helps to prevent rejection. Also my doctors’ visits are now every three weeks now. Also we will be starting back with IVIG Drip next month, LIVIg is a plasma product formed by taking antibodies from about 20,000 donors and mixing them together. IVIg has proven effective in several immune system disorders, including nearly all autoimmune conditions even CIDP and GBS. The sooner you can treat the patient with IVIg the better the results. There is a window of opportunity usually within the first 18 months during which IVIg administration is ideal. The longer you wait to treat with IVIg the longer it will take for IVIg to work. After being exposed to toxins and poisonous chemicals including carbon monoxide the body's immune system may mount an attack on the body. This autoimmune attack can be reduced by IVIG. Last month I broke out into a an allergy reaction Dr. Lee then put a stop to all the next treatments , so I spoke to Dr.Lee and told him I did take my Benadryl or an aspirin before the treatment until twenty minutes in the drip which I took reasonability for that mistake. So now will continue next month as schedule for the next seven months.Thank you Dr.Lee.
