circulating Immune Complexes

[momaine]

My dd has an elevated C3d circulating immune complexes. From my research on-line, i have found that this is usually present in people with autoimmune disorders such as Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'm hoping this will help get IVIG covered by insurance.

 

Has anyone else's child been tested for this? What were the results? What do you know about it as far as PANDAS goes?

 

Thanks,

Angela

Both of my kids tested high for C3d complexes - one had Pandas, the other does not but has severe environmental allergies. I don't know much about it, other than it seems to confirm that the frequent complaints I hear about muscle pain and fatigue are real and are the result of a non-specific autoimmune response.

 

Would love to know more.
