Now please don't laugh but when he brought this up, the first thing I thought of was "I'll ask the people on the boards".

Alan went back to the gym for the first time today (since he got home from the 5 rounds of IVIG). Today, he got his strength back and he went.

So he just got home and he's lying down and relaxing and I asked him "did you use the steam room". He said "No, I was afraid" I said "of the steam room??, why on earth are you afraid, it sweats out all your toxins, 5 to 7 minutes in the steam room will do you a world of good". (and he usually goes in the steam room anyway)

His reply: "I was afraid the new antibodies that I got from the IVIG would be sweated out of me and I would lose them". I started to laugh, then I said "you know, what the heck do I know, does a person sweat out antibodies??". Especially EXPENSIVE ANTIBODIES???? Might be a stupid question, might not.

So, while I'm sure he can go back into the steam room, he just want to make sure.

Thanks, Melody
