Rituximab

Thank you for your lovely supportive messages. This disease is so tough but I feel so grateful to have found this fantastic site. Every time I hear a Rituximab success story it gives me hope… I can’t wait to start my treatment next week and can only pray it will help me. Sending big hugs to you all, stay strong xx

Alison, they may have told you, just remember that it doesn't work overnight - it's a progressive drug meaning it takes I think they say 6 - 8 weeks before you start to see results. I remember I didn't feel any different a week later so I called the nurse who did the infusion and he told me it's a slow process. That is why there are several rounds and even some continue on cycles for years.

Feel free to reach out again - we are all on this journey together! Blessings ~

Ok, thank you :slight_smile: I’m still on high doses of steroids so hopefully they will continue to work until the Rituximab kicks in. I will try and be patient, I’m just so grateful my consultant has agreed for me to have this treatment.
