Second treatment, three "pokes" later (we truly need real time ultra sounds for this treatment) and access began. I would suggest a pillow for your neck and other body parts as sitting so still and long is challenging. Total time for treatment was 3.5 hours, hubby and my "kindle" kept me company.  

Very tired and hungry after treatment and the ride home (75 mile journey.) Three days later hit a wall and was fatigued and over did myself- ended up in the ER...need to slow down, until my body adjusts to this treatment. According to John Hopkins LDL Apheresis treatment director it is not uncommon to have feelings of nausea, muscle weakness, chest pain and fatique from treatment....Another symptom is that Buzz is rather angry after treatment and a few days later begins to calm down and buzzzz less. I still feel for a good thrill and buz each day. I'm thinking about introducing TM and embroidery for relaxation as this entire process is rather invasive to the body and psyche.

Good news on the lipid panels-total cholesterol 112, LDL 37
