A member asked:
How many treatments of ivig/plasphorosis should a person with guillain barre have? i had 5 of each once.people say i should have more is this true?

Probably not. : Gbs treatment with 5 days of ivig is standard. Plasmapheresis, when used, is generally 4-6 treatments. Your doctor/neurologist knows what's right for you. Sounds like she/he is doing the right thing for you.

Correct therapy: If you have had both ivig and plasmapheresis, your treatment has been thorough and complete. Are the people advising you medical professionals or just busybody wannabes? Sorry to be critical, but i too think your doctors have done the right stuff. Be patient now and allow healing to proceed.
