How have you been feeling lately, and how is the steroid taper going? I really hope things have been stable for you.

If you don’t mind me asking, did you have a brain MRI or perhaps a whole-body MRI at any point in 2025? I’d be very interested to know how things have progressed since then.

My husband got better after an immunoglobulin therapy and steroids, but especially after Rithuximab (without steroids two cycles in a year). Now, 21 months since hospital with GFAP, he feels almost as before GFAP, he walks every day 5 km + 2 km easy run, no balance problems. (In the meantime, in April, he had a minor heart attack and stent procedure due to high cholesterol, but this is another story...).
Have patience, you'll see things will turn out fine!
