From CUAnchutz:
This brings real hope to all current and future autoimmune patients
Amanda Piquet, MD, of #CUAnschutz wants people with autoimmune neurological disorders to know that they aren’t alone. Through patient care, research and collaboration, she dreams to improve life for everyone impacted by the autoimmune disorders that affect the brain and spinal cord.

In 2024, the Céline Dion Foundation gifted $2 million to CU Anschutz to advance autoimmune neurological research in gratitude for the care the superstar has received from Dr. Piquet throughout her journey with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS).

The duo sat down together to discuss what the gift means for the future of SPS and other related neurological diseases. Video not available

My son was diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis 27 months ago. He is an engineer and has tried IVIG, RITUXMAB, PLASMA EXCHANGE, high dose of Steriods and Thaimine. He had no thaimine , never walked for 27 months, now he is on once a month for six months of Cytoxan infusion, on his 5th treatment, his legs are weaker, Anyone with similiar experience, I am desperate to know if I am alone.
