Thanks everyone for wishes and interest.
We are doing this through lumbar puncture, which is just an injection through the lower back with little pain and takes just a few minutes a week. Then just a little dose of steroids, 2mg pill per day and that's it. Within a few weeks. then the time period is extended, I know of one doing it every 6 weeks and another planning to go for once every 3 months. When all is clear then I think that it must be done for a year or two and then stop completely. But this is still experimental. But I don't think there is anything more effective. Lets see the outcome of the results in 2 days!!
