@kkathysan, @gillysmom, and all...I just sent a message to you folks and remembered something I wanted to mention. I've had the same issues with frequent infections for the last 30+ years, acute and chronic sinus infections with surgery last year to remove a sphenoid infection that wouldn't respond to any treatments, 5 UTI infections last year, one with sepsis and all severe and with blood, kidney, lung, toe, lungs of course...I have a 'lousy' immune and autoimmune system like you. I can't believe you were 2years paralyzed. So sorry. My right arm was paralyzed for several months in my 20s after a tennis ball hit the base of my skull. To this day it gets weak with discomfort when I overdo it. I also had 2 episodes of total paralysis except for my eyes and mouth, thankfully for me, to this day with no diagnosis. I read recently this can occur as a side effect of a med I was taking. Lyrica? Neurontin? don't remember for sure, but I was stunned after reading this as the entire staff at that hospital thought I was trying to get a few days of 'spa-like' treatment! I was insulted and horrified at the thought!
Now have hypothyroidism and other diagnoses. I'm interested in Gamma Globulin infusions. I'm reading on that as well and will report what I find if different. I had IVIG infusions several years ago when misdiagnosed with Myasthenia gravis. Actually, they did help. May be due to vasculitis or ???? Our immune systems are wonky and give the docs a run for it. I'm thrilled with the Mayo diagnoses of several things I've dealt with alone for years.
Kathy, hope you get good results from the LDN. Praying for you and all.

@ess77 Thank you Elizabeth for your reply. I should clear up something for you, I apologize if the way I worded the paralysis with Guillian Barre as being paralyzed for 2 years. It was a 2 year recovery from the paralysis. I was in the hospital for 6 weeks at Duke University Hospital and then in my home hospital for another 3 or 4 weeks, then home for outpatient therapy. Guillian Barre' damages your nerves and it takes a long time for them to heal, which is why it took me a couple of years to finally get over this illness. I do still have residual effects from the nerve damage but not severe and consider myself blessed, that I recovered as well as I did. It sounds like you have had a time with your health as well. I will pray for your continued healing and progress toward good health in 2023. I always say, "One day at a time", is the best way to move forward with a grateful heart it is not something worse. Take care of yourself.
