Yes, if this is indeed AE or autoimmune. IVIG, Plasmapheresis, steroids, cellcept, imuran, cytoxan can all be effectiveInteresting!
Is there any treatment for this?

Yup, not sure why I forgot that one 😂😂I was curious about this, too. If I remember correctly @crypt0cu1t, you had this lesion behind your eye on the prior scan (when you first started posting). Did the Neuro explain what it is or if it has gotten bigger over time?
I would think that Rituximab might be helpful, too (and less toxic than cellcept or imuran, etc)?
Yes, I'd advise most people with ME to avoid them. I don't think that I have ME, I think mine is either autoimmune or paraneoplastic.@crypt0cu1t This does look useful in helping you - hope you can get treatment that improves your situation.
For anyone else, a PET scan is a huge amount of radiation and should be undergone only if there's no other way to diagnose a problem and if whatever they think will be found is treatable. Radiation can negatively affect mitochondria, impacting energy production, and cause DNA damage.
Well, I am glad you've been finding answers!😉Yes, I'd advise most people with ME to avoid them. I don't think that I have ME, I think mine is either autoimmune or paraneoplastic.
