My doctor suggested this last year but I wanted to pursue my vascular issues first. Now that I seem to be at the end of whatever can be done for me in that department, I am probably going to move forward with Rituxan.

My disability has been progressing rapidly over the last month and I feel like I need to do something soon.

Anyone have any experience with Rituxan?

Thanks!

Not to scare you off, and admittedly Rituximab isn't something I've dwelled on, but if memory serves it seems that PML was also an issue that you should read up on....if you haven't already.

Yeah, I know about the PML risk. I'm having a test to see if I have the JC(?) virus. I understand that the majority of the population has this virus but if I don't, at least I'll ffeel a little better about it.
