Hello wobblybee hope you are doing well. I’m registered for this event and looking forward to it. I’m not currently on gluten free yet as I’m awaiting instructions from Sheffield as I have had blood results 6 months apart now with TG6 antibodies and the MRS scan showed deficiencies in cerebella and balance center connections. I’m still no wiser 🤨 all I know is I’m not getting any better and need to get started on something ASAP. Thank you for putting this up. Take care

NO SURRENDER

I had a plasma exchange treatment recently for possible autoimmune cerebellar ataxia. Very grateful for the opportunity, but no obvious improvement 6 weeks on!

After 6wks you would hope to notice an improvement but..everybody reacts differently. Did your Neurologist expect to see an immediate result🤔

Actually after about 2 weeks I did notice a bizarre springiness in my legs which made getting out of a chair incredibly easy. It happened overnight and has remained. Nothing else has improved. Balance, stamina and tremors are as poor as ever. Quite peculiar really!

I’m guessing so. That’s my distinct impression, but yes everyone is different. I knew nothing was guaranteed!
