My First LIT (lymphocyte immunization therapy)

I just a month break from my fertility work up. I feel so relax, even though I am terribly busy at work. Back-to-school season is our peak season. Why I am so stressed these few months? Am I stressed because I am infertile? I am infertile because I am stressed?

Ai... Not all aspects of life are smooth sailing. My journey to fertility is like sailing against the current. If I don't advance, I will be swept downstream. I am racing against time. I exert all my effort to keep sailing forward. This afternoon, I bit the bullet as I tried the lymphocyte immunization therapy (LIT).

8 hours past, since I had the LIT. Yucks, the giant mosquito bites turned red. And it seems to me these are pustules. I afraid these pustules will get worsen in no time.

The first column was from my husband's lymphocyte. The other three columns were from the donors.The first column has the least reaction. Oh my god! I just realized what my immunologist was saying about genetic closeness. So, I developed little blocking antibody to my husband's lymphocyte? If I don't develop blocking antibody against my husband HLA, I will create antibody against my fetus. I cannot absorb what he was saying before because I was resisting to believe. I have created HLA antibody from the "donor HLA". This is my aha moment! Brilliant! That is called as the borrowed HLA. (^.^) Immunology is now an interesting.

17 hours past LIT, I am still restless. I cannot sleep while my immune armies are busily attacking these 16 giant mosquito bites. The surrounding area has also swollen. Is this what immunologist refer to as the wonder of immunology?

My left forearm is now bigger than my right forearm. I hope my left forearm circumference will not be as big as my arm when I wake up. Grrr... I really can't sleep. Is it because of the oolong tea? Is there a switch to turn off my immune response? Wahaha I want to sleep! It is 6:30 am already. I get a little throbbing pain on my left eye. I pray this is not a uveitis attack. My left forearm has a little throbbing pain also.
