Lately, I've had issues: fatigue, a finicky leg, odd stuff. But odd stuff has been my history, and nothing lasts and I generally end up doing ok.
Because of my recent odd stuff--when I get tired, my foot gets floppy--my neuro ordered some new tests, and the GAD65 came back very abnormal.
Can this not be awful news? Anybody here understand this auto-antibody enough to tell me something reassuring?
I do get IVIG, and I'm hoping that somebody whose antibodies were in the IVIG had this, and not me.

Hi Liza,
So nice to hear from you!! I am sorry I do not know anything about Gad65, but I just wanted to chime in and say hello again.
PS. When I had lumbar surgery(discectomy) in 2010, the sciatic nerve was beaten up a bit the surgeon told me. When I get very tired my leg goes a tiny bit wobbly.
