[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had elevated NKs and then later other issues with the placenta and with DD#2 I went back on them when I was dx with IUGR.  I was basically on them my whole pregnancy for my last 2 kids.

The only way to know if you need more is to get testing.  Getting more won't hurt you but if you don't need them your doctor should be able to confirm through testing. [/quote]

OP here:  my only bloodwork problem is elevated TNF alpha, which I've had the entire time.  Just the TNF alpha.  NK cells are fine.  No history of miscarriages.

and insurance doesn't cover it- so it's a $300 fee to the nurse, $300 to my doctors' office, and $185 for the intralipids itself.  So $785 per intralipids.[/quote]

Okay well I think I have probably responded to your posts in the past.   What were your latest results?   There is some overlap in inflammation markers TNF-a and NKs are just two.  There are lots of things that are at play here.  No miscarriages, but you have RIF, correct?   Betas were good, correct?  If you can post all your immune numbers from your last tests that would be helpful.

It's naive to think these are the only 2 numbers your doctor is looking at and weighing with treatment options.   It's not light reading but if you want to understand more I highly recommend reading and trying to educate yourself.  If you can't trust your doctors decisions then by all means advocate for yourself but do it intelligently.  [url]http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aji.12483/pdf[url][/quote]
