Boonerunner, From all I have read this disease effects everyone very differently. I have read success stories of a man coming back and doing an Ironman Triathlon after spending a year or more wanting to sleep 17 hours a day. I think the biggest thing I have learned is I have to be patient. I expected 5 plasmapheresis treatments would fix me up good as new and as much as I want to deny it I may not ever get back to the running I once did. That said I am and always will be to stubborn to give up trying. I hope your son is just as stubborn and finds his way through this.
