Yes- Plasmapheresis was the only thing that helped when I was in crisis years ago.
but my MD says its usually not used unless symptoms are very severe- ie-can't breathe; can't swallow. From my understanding its a much longer term solution than IVIG. I've heard that treatments are needed every few weeks. I was also wondering if a change from Imuran to Cellcept might help????
