That's really interesting to know. I have had insurance cover through my employer so am so very lucky to be able to try this, especially living in the U.K where the NHS can't provide adequately for chronic conditions. The secretary arranging this said that for the 5 day loading infusion the hospital wanted a deposit of £15k. That is just for the deposit! I nearly fell off my chair. I cannot comprehend that much money and dread to think what the full amount is. It makes me realise why the NHS are so loathed to try it in experimental cases such as SFN.
