Hi @friendz4 it's good to ask questions. I'm assuming you told your doctor you are not sure about the plamapherisis treatment. What did he say? I was not familiar with the treatment so did a search. I have no medical training or background but reading about it may help you feel a little more comfortable with it.

Thanks so much for the information , I let him know I will think about it,he put me on prednisone pack and it’s actually making me much worse,I don’t know what I will do but I will keep you posted,I am very sensitive to meds,so I might have problems with the plasma also,I think some drs drive you crazy that’s where I am at now as I should have had a proper diagnosis a long time ago
