    Thanks Mildez. She already can't have babies naturally due to endo, so thinking there's a chance this could do permanent damage had me worried. She's already been through alot.
    I do remember her saying something about them talking about ms, that was before christmas. Maybe she had the original episode back then & it wasn't so bad, but she is one of those who has relapses?
    I'm not sure. Hard to know when you can't ask yourself. But if that's the case, maybe she's past the worst of it.

    There was a seperate link to the relapse part of it & I think it had a different name. Will have to have more of a look later.

    Clover GBS would have no impact on her fertility. Has it been confirmed she has GBS or something they suspect? You don't usually have a mild case and relapse later on although once you have had it once you can get it again apparently but its very uncommon. Usually at the onset of the illness deterioration is rapid and within 24hrs-48hrs the patient nearly always needs to be ventalated due to it compromising the respiratory system and not been able to breath for yourself. This acute stage usually lasts anywhere from a few days until a few weeks until you can breath on your own and further time to get use of the arms, legs etc. Then physio to gain use of them and muscle tone. The myelin (covering of the nerves) does repair itself and once it does people usually have full mobility again. Just takes time.

    No, I know it has nothing to do with her fertility. Those are from endometriosis issues she's had for over 10 years.
    As far as I know its been confirmed, & she's booked in for the spinal tap early next week, & they've discussed blood transfusions. I don't really know more than that.
