Spinal tap question

Hi every [I][U]one![/U][/I] It’s nice to be back after our voyage over seas. How ever kind and considerate our hosts were, it is still nice to be home!
Can anyone tell me what the protein count for GBS is in the spianal tap test?
I think I remember 12 or 13 but I can’t remember if it is better above or below the magic number.
A young woman has come to my attention at Church with a rather sudden case of stumbling. The doc’s seem to “[I]think[/I]” MS but…
I know all the other tests, it’s just the spinal tap that escapes me.
Thanks,
KC

Welcome To All Who Enter Here New and All of Us Senior Members

On behalf of this GBS/CIDP Family I would like to “Welcome any Newcomers”

and our returning “Family Members.” This site was down for way to long and I suspect we all were very upset by this, But we are back now and we will be stronger for it. This site is a Godsend for all the people entering here and I hope we all continue our fight to get the word out about GBS/CIDP.

Also I would like to thank The GBS/CIDP Forums from the United Kingdom for
their graciousness of having us with them and I hope they will continue to post here as well.

Questions about after IVIG

This sure is an active forum. Everyone seems to be hooking back up. I was diagnosed with CIDP while the site was down and used the UK site for a few questions.
Last week I had my first treatment, 5 days of IVIG, and am a my old self again. I can walk, step up on a curb, go up stairs, get up out of a chair without help – things I used to take for granted.

My husband and I had planned a trip to Italy before I came down with this. I am wondering if I should strike while the iron is hot and go before I start having symtoms again.

Did any of you with CIDP recover after IVIG treatment. What can I expect?

And Thank You Kit for being my lamp in the darkness when things were worse.

Many Thank You’s

Since we haven’t been online for a long time, I want to thank everyone who posted at the old forums for my March 9th Birthday. I did get a chance to read most of them before the site went down, but never got to thank you all.

So “A Big Thank You” is in order.:) 🙂 🙂 🙂

Public Service: Who is still missing?

Dear Friends:

The numbers of people returning here as been absolutely astonishing. A lot of you returned because others e-mailed you. We still have some missing people that I would like to see return. Perhaps we can use this thread to see if we can find e-mail addresses of some of the missing people.

Does anyone have e-mail adresses of the following:

Jethro
Angelina (Angelwings177)
Gene
Marc Muirhead
Nancy (Rosebuddozen)
Drive-bye Mike
Survivor 48
Bill Perry (Artist Oz)
Paul
Fireman Dave
Andrea_SC

I am sure there are plenty of others I am forgetting. If you have their e-mail address, post here to let us know they have been contacted. If you are wondering about a friend, use this thread to ask if anyone has their e-mail address.

I used to have adress to all these people but I stored them as PM’s on the old site. I can kick myself now.

By the way, thanks to everyone who pitched in to e-mail others. I am impressed by everyones civic mindedness.
