      Has anyone tried Rituxan? I am working with my Neuro to get a trial… desperate!

      There was quite a bit of discussion going on about Rituxan awhile ago. I searched the forum & found this link to the discussion:

      It might offer some help.

      I did not read what Kelly’s info said, so this may be redundant. But at last Fall’s symposium, it was suggested by the Dr.’s that a minimum of 6 months of Rituxin must be used before any results. have you exhausted all possibilities of tweaking ivig? Meaning, loading doses, or more frequent administration? Some people on the site get it weekly. As well, some get ivig in conjunction with solumedrol. Good luck, keep us posted.
