@harley22 I certainly understand your worry about getting an infection. The nurses/techs who do the plasmapheresis will teach you how to care for the implant site. I was an oncology nurse and we dealt with central lines and no one got infections. We were forever careful about cleaning the site and making sure the patient was also.
When is your appointment for radiology?

I’ve decided I’m not doing it.
I’m not willing to risk it because from what I’ve read and heard, the plasma exchange may not work for me, or the symptoms get better, but no for long and more treatments are needed.
I’ve been thru a lot and am afraid to even try this, when I would much rather take a drug which has success rate.
