Sam -

This is exactly what I am interested in. So forgive me, but here are three (compound) questions by way of follow up:

1. Do you know the doses you had been at (A) in the last infusion before the flair, (B) in the infusion the caused the flair and (C) the lowered dose thereafter at which all was well? Was any attempt made to increase the dose again in later infusions?

2. How long was each infusion, what was the sequencing and where were you on it when you flaired? E.g., your 3rd of ten 4-hour infusions over two weeks.

3. When you say you "went into a flare and in the hospital," I take it you were admitted after showing up for an out-patient infusion. How long did the flair last, how long were you in the hospital and do you recall what was done to bring the flair under control.

Thank you in advance.

Mike
