Hey, how are you doing? I am about to start my treatments with Dr B. I got my calendar and it has something called Metanx on it. I know everyone is different but did you have to take this drug? I've never heard of it - he didn't mention it to me so I thought it was weird. I will ask them but just curious.
Also the calendar only has one date for b/w during the cycle (plus one at beta time). Does that sound right to you? Somehow I thought it would be more...
And I have one IVIG.
Just wanting to see how your experience compares!
Re: **Worms**
i wasn't on metanx. i don't have my calendar with me so the info below is from my memory and can be off.
i started out on lovenox, prednisone and neupogen. i had b/w checked for lovenox and had immune b/w done after betas.
i did intralipids first (around 7/8 weeks) after nk levels rose and when they kept rising and then i did IVIG around 10w and again around 14w. i had immune b/w done after each treatment.
he knows what he is doing and we have different issues so won't be on same treatment.
GL with everything. i'm praying hard.
