I've thought about plasmapheresis, but am not sure if it'd work for me. Plus, doesnt it use donor blood products? I have kind of a blood phobia (mostly, other people's blood...just creeped out at the thought of receiving other people's blood/blood products)

My physiatrist mentioned plasmapheresis and maybe getting it somewhere down the line. I'm a lot worried about the cost of plasmapheresis (and the whole blood phobia thing)

Does plasmapheresis have benefits? Does it usually work for everyone?
