Keep in mind CD57 is only a marker, and for some, is not a good indicator of how you are doing symptomatically. In general, if you test with a low CD57 before or during treatment, then the consensus is that you would continue treatment until the CD57 was above 200. (Apparently, there are lower incidences of relapse when this process is followed.) I see you only have 4 posts. I don't have time to read your link, but are you newly dx'd or an old pro who just became a forum member? In addition, there have been discussions regarding coinfections actually inflating this number, and that may be why some feel terrible with a high CD57. GlitchyMomma
