I have some questions for those who know more than me (basically everyone here lol). I was given IVIG last year to stop the autoimmune attack. My doctor dermined i would no longer need the IVIG. When i asked him what the criteria he had considered was, he said the following: Nerve conduction tests show no damage (before they did) and you haven't shown any symptoms of worsening (weakness, paralysys...). I am still on Imuran. I don't know what the ccriteria to keep taking this drug is. My doctor says i will keep on taking it for a while. Don't know how long, nor waht would determine to stop it in a certain point... So my question is: Do you beleive my doctor choices are right? Or should i consider visiting another neuro to see what he can see about this. I have been getting more tingling. I am affraid a new attack is taking place... Doctor says the clinical exploration is as important as blood work and the exploration shows that my strenght and my reflexes are ok.... My doctor says all my pain is due the previous damage i suffered.... He says i am on the healing stage now... So, should i beleive this??? I don't want to wait til it is too late to take the IVIG???? Can you give me some tips to determine i am on the healing stage....


I also want to ask you guys waht you think about the candida thing. I posted a thread on this and i dind't get many answers. Only Mrs D answered but not exactly on what i asked... I have been thinking about doing the candida diet, taking probiotics and antifungals (doing the regular candida treatment). I am already gluten free. I have lost a lot of weight. I have some concerns about reducing the carbohydrate and sugar intake even more, but if i can get beneffits, i would do it... I am willing to try the candida approach. I have read some articles (none of them scientific) on how people are beneffited. Please just tell me what you think of this... DO you think it is just a worthless idea?? Or do you think it's an approach i, or anyone in a similar situation, should consider??

I have been checking all my blood work. I got tests for thyroid hormones, antibodies, glucose... I realized i never got any nutriotional tests. Aside from B12 (which i have been supplementing for even though i don't really knowing wether i am defficient or not), what do you think are the main minerals and vitamins i should have tested. It is very expensive to have all of them measured. I read Liza Jane's chart but i need some orientation on what the first ones to test should be.

Thank you!!
