In addition, along my journey and participation in communities of support among those diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy and other variants I've heard of shortages of immunoglobulin - mostly in other countries.
I first learned of plasma donation while in college, because the guys often left lunch in the cafeteria to head over to a nearby donation center. Later I became a blood donor - usually during hospital blood drives. Today, I rely on the donations of others to help me control my rare chronic condition and allow me to function at a level closer to what was normal. Little did I know that my college friends and I were helping people like me with immune deficiencies As you read this press release and the data included on the infographic below, consider your own understanding and knowledge of a plasma supply revolution.
