Copper

Hi Chirley,
It is difficult to understand that a small amount of the copper solution outside the vein could cause such a severe allergic reaction. We hope the prednisone will help and that you can tolerate that dose (I canĀ“t sleep if I take more than 20 mg).

Very interesting that transplanted stemcells from blood or bone marrow can engraft in nerve tissue. Still we don't know if your chromosome deletion has caused your symptoms or if they depend on copper defiency.

Hope the rash will disappear and that you will be able to continue the treatment!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
