My Tnf-alpha:il-10 is above border. I don't believe this issue needs to be addressed. It is just slightly higher than the maximum anyway.
Simple problem needs simple solution. If my TNF-a is high, why not use a TNF-a inhibitor or TNF-a blocker? Why should I put all my hopes on LIT? LIT is a broad spectrum treatment. To the older generations, LIT is crazy! Injecting white blood cells for fertility? But, why my circle of friends know this? My classmate, cousin-in-law, my neighbor's friend and godsister has APAS. I hope we are not having an LIT fad. Immunologist2 also asked for APAS screening test for husband. Ouch! Follow the trend!
Why not use Humira? Immunologist1 said she is concerned about its safely. She will never use it.
Immunologist3 will infuse IVIG 2 weeks before IUI or IVF, if I refuse LIT. Winger EE article was a wake up call to me. And I found the sad fate of a patient who underwent IVIG prior to embryo transfer. Zarpar8 complained the efficacy of IVIG in a forum.http://www.fertilethoughts.com/forums/immune-issues/300813-where-do-i-start.html I guess Th1/th2 is the missing puzzle. Oh my god, if I refuse LIT, IVIG alone might not be the solution. I will respond to low dose IvIg only- according the the Chicago lab. My resistance to LIT is futile.
