Re: [MBZ] Neuropathy IVIG
I had IVIG treatments back in the late 90s when my disease 1st raised its ugly head. I was to the point I was only sleeping 10 min or so at a time due to pain and those 10 min were not very restful. It's amazing what sleep deprivation will do. The 1st IVIG treatment was pretty effective. I got about 5 hours of great sleep for a change. 6 months later I got another IVIG treatment and it was effective for a couple of months. We tried once more but I didn't see change at all. we then went to narcotics and my neurologists turned me over to a Anesthesiologist who tried similar methods before putting a pump under the skin with Dilaudid (concentrated morphine) in it dripping into my spine. at some point in the early '00s, a med called Lyrica was developed which made a huge positive difference. But I'm not so sure the original diagnosis was 100% accurate. I'd like to try weight loss and exercise but it's so hard to exercise when my legs are a problem. My ortho surgeon suggested water exercise which I hope to try soon. so we'll see. mao said he forgot what caused the need for IVIG -- nerve damage. There are variants but I was told mine is Chronic Inflammatory demylinating polyneuropathy. (CIDP) . There's also Guilleme Berret (sp?) which can also be quite bad. My only symptom is extreme pain while others have pain and muscle loss causing some to become wheelchair bound. Others have seen remission and have become almost 100% again. Back to mao - my problem is the mylin covering on the nerve bundles is being attacked by antibodies - when mylin is lost the signals to the brain are confused. The nerve bundles look like millions of sausage strings and the casing would be the mylin. Wilt I both have the same disease - when I was getting the IVIG I was told it was a $10K prescription -- thankfully I have insurance that covered it. Some people have IVIG treatments very often - like 2-3 per week. Maybe that would have helped me? But since the 3rd single treatment didn't help it wasn't suggested that I continue.Plus, for me, it was such an unpleasant experience i was not in much of a hurry to repeat treatments. I am convinced one of the injections caused a DVT (blood clot in leg) even though the Neur. said that wasn't the cause. I'm convinced the thick, cold fluid that was fed into my vein did not breakdown enough before reaching my legs and caused the blood in my leg to coagulate causing the clot. But that's my interpretation. Before this (in ~1996) I never lost time from work due to illness. But this makes up for it. ;-) The fun just never ends...

Re: [MBZ] The Brakes that WON'T - 1983 300TD
I like your explanation better than any of the others because it's a cheap fix. -- Sent from myMail app for Android Monday, 10 November 2014, 11:48AM -0500 from Randy Bennell rbenn...@bennell.ca: Is there a check valve in the main hose leading to the brake booster? I had a vehicle way back that would periodically lose the power brake function and scare me half to death. I changed the hose between the booster and the intake (it was a gas engine) and that solved the problem. There was a check valve in the hose that would sometimes stick.

One would think that the pump would either work or not work. It is a diaphram right? The mechanism moves it back and forth and is essentially a pump that creates vacuum on the low side. If the diaphram is torn, it shouldn't work. One would not think it would work some of the time.

Re: [MBZ] The Brakes that WON'T - 1983 300TD
You need to get a Mityvac and have at the various hoses and connections. You'll track it down soon enough. You can see if there is vacuum coming from the pump or not. If there is then there is a leak in a line or your brake booster or some other part in the system. It is easy enough to check where, the lines to the locks go off behind the brake line (I think, been awhile since I have done this) so you can disconnect the connector and plug up the line, then see if the brakes work. The shutoff line is along there too, just look where the hoses go. You can plug the lines with a golf tee or pencil. It should pull down pretty far, if not much vacuum then you have a leak in the line from the pump or the diaphragm. Those connectors disintegrate and leak, I ended up making another one for in front of the brake booster on the TD from some barb fittings and a tee from Home Depot. Works fine and will last forever, I think even cheaper than the actual part. The vac hoses under the hood can rot too, vac hose is cheap. Remember, this is one case where if it sucks, that is good. --R On 11/10/14 6:23 PM, astrasfogel--- via Mercedes wrote: My symptoms are silent -- Sent from myMail app for Android Monday, 10 November 2014, 04:31PM -0500 from Rick Knoble via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com: Original Message From: Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 1:41 PM To: Scott Ritchey; Mercedes Discussion List Reply To: Andrew Strasfogel Subject: Re: [MBZ] The Brakes that WON'T - 1983 300TD My pessimistic half is betting on the vacuum pump, the most expensive scenaro ($350 + labor).

Re: [MBZ] Neuropathy IVIG
When Wilton told me his diagnosis, I researched it and other autoimmune diseases. To make a long story short, there is some interesting experimentation and successes involving fecal transplants. (Fecal transplant is removing a patients feces and replacing it with known healthy feces from a donor.) There are probably human trials going on which will be reported out eventually, but most published trials so far only describe successes with lab animals that have autoimmune diseases. 1500 different organisms, viri, bacteria, parasites, etc. have been isolated from human feces. Some of those are known to emit toxins that cause disease, and viruses especially, can go right through the walls of the intestine and continually attack various organs and tissues. Fecal transplant has entered mainstream medicine via the treatment of patients who have a bacterium growing in their intestine (clostridium difficile) that is often resistant to all antibiotics and can be fatal. It's success has led to the manufacture and sale of tablets of feces that are easier to ingest than flavored and disguised drinks of feces (which is more effective than fecal enemas). Since the continual growth of organisms in the feces that that are causing disease can be dependent on a persons diet, a simpler and often worthwhile test is to put the patient on an exclusion diet different from the patients diet. In the view of a number of renegade physicians and researchers, autoimmune diseases, as well as a number of others, are cause by viri or other organisms and the toxins they produce. Current orthodoxy, however, is that autoimmune disorders are caused by internal mistakes caused by the bodies immune system. Time will tell.

[MBZ] Almost 1940
Last year the temps dropped to below zero around dec 10. Today the temp has dropped about 38ºF in 8 hours or so. It dropped near 30ºF in a couple of hours. In 1940 the temps dropped around 70ºF in one day, causing the bark to pop off trees as the sap froze. This killed many many trees and caused the death of a lot of people and livestock and other animals. It was called the Armistice Day freeze, since what we know of as Veterans day was called Armistice Day in 1940. MB Content: in 1940, DB was building advanced fuel injected aircraft engines that were, and still are, a work of art.
