      a LOT for you! And will continue to do so for the ‘durations’!
      Truly and wholly, you are near my heart and soul for wishing super strength and that it all works out SUPER! Fudge, even above average would do, wouldn’t it?
      Please remember, that you are in the back of my mind, all of the time!

      i decided to get up– usually prednisone wakes me around now anyway, then i usually take a little something to get the rest of my sleep. not today.

      i’m up, with coffee and focused.

      i wanted to thank you all for your thoughts, vibes, energy, whatever…
      it feels like a collective of strength and support…

      sophie will post as soon as it’s a good time and we can say something about how the day went.

      hugs and wishes of good health to all,
      alice

      Alice, I will be following your posts with great interest, and hope you knock CIDP into a long-lasting remission.

      This Northwestern protocol, or the Revimmune protocol (which uses ultra high-dose cytoxan w/o stem cell transplant) are two options I believe hold much promise for severe cases, based on research I have read.

      Very exciting!

      We are all there with you Alice, just lean on us for strength. The shoulders stretch across the USA and further.

      NEVER
      NEVER
      NEVER
      EVER
      GIVE UP.
