I made the trip and actually did very well. I think the antibodies from the GG were out of my system (more or less) by the time I was en route.
My Dr said a very interesting thing when I asked him about the awful side effects - he said it was a good situation for him, but bad for me! In other words it showed something was being stirred up (infections) which meant his dx is correct and also that the GG is helping to kill them off. He was very clear that I should continue, but must try tiny doses at intervals to suit me. He literally said I could play around with the dosing to find what suited me for now, but that even a tiny amount was better than nothing and would start to get the immune system recognising and fighting the infections.
He was pretty sure the awful reaction was not side effects but was a cytokine storm caused by the bacterial die off and debris and that I mustn't take so much to make me feel like this in future. He described my immune system as hyper but tired - so I said the GG made me feel like I have flu, but he said 'you probably never actually have flu though do you?' and I haven't for years (at first 7 years ago I caught everything going, now is the opposite).
I am willing to give it another try, but not sure what to do if I cause such a severe reaction again. Maybe start with micro micro dose?
To be on the safe side, we also did a full Immunoglobulin panel to specifically look at IGA and see if mine is low, in which case that could be causing the reaction as Gammanorm has a fair amount of IGA in it.
That's all for now - will report back when I try small amounts.
