Hi, your neuro is probably the best source of locations where you can receive plasmapheresis. Is he the one who suggested the location 4 hours away? I would guess he has a pheresis unit close by if he is suggesting the treatment.

I had the very treatment schedule he is suggesting for you, 5 treatments over the course of two weeks, one treatment every other day. It took about and hour and a half for each treatment. I had a triple lumen line placed in my jugular vein for the treatments which meant they went quickly because there was large vein access. I had a lot of nausea for the first week but felt great after that passed.

Good luck, I hope you find a place close by.
