mom md Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Madeleine W. Cunningham, Ph.D. George Lynn Cross Research Professor Microbiology and Immunology Director, NIAID-supported Immunology Training Program University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Biomedical Research Center Room 217 975 NE 10th Street Oklahoma City, OK 73104 Tel 405-271-3128 Lab 405-271-2133 X47455 FAX 405-271-2177 email: madeleine-cunningham@ouhsc.edu Just e-mail her and she will get the kit to you. The test is experimental and not covered by insurance and will cost 200 dollars. It takes 3-4 weeks to get the results. I really think she has found the correct test though and I think it is important to get, especially before you do something invasive like IVIG or PEX.

EAMom Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 BTW, if you have already had IVIG, PEX, or steroids, this will affect your test results...but it may still be worth running depending on what symptoms you have. We ran the bloodwork 7 weeks after IVIG to see how much our values dropped since we had values pre-IVIG as a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
