Anyone take this test? If so, what treatment did you pursue. I had elevated antineuronal antibodies am hoping I can get IVIG as that seems it would help.
I know there is a study done showing elevated antineuronal antibodies in lyme patients, so hopefully there are some whom have had this test

My son recently had an antineuronal antibody test done (don't know if it was called the Cunningham Test), and the results show he has QUADRUPLE the amount of these things in his body. This affects the dopamine in his basal ganglia, according to the Immunologist, and is causing all sorts of problems.
Yes, we are trying to get IVIG treatment for him, but it is contingent upon insurance company approval (this is a very expensive treatment!). My son's blood work also showed low readings for Immunoglobulin subclasses.

DD was just tested for this.
IVIG treatment is so costly and will not be an option for us. Fortunately, LLMD did say that IVIG is not the only way to treat this, though no specifics were given.
Results take about 3 months to get back, so we'll wait to research and/or pursue this once we know the outcome of the test.
