Why does your son refuse to take ctx ? (I can understand why he refuses the higher pred...) I was never on it, but know that others took it, by IV or pill and it was not too bad.
Maybe the allergists will have an idea how to prevent reactions for rtx ? Maybe in much slower pace and while being on high steroids ? I read about weggies getting rtx very slowly, even for 12-15 hours.
I read somewhere about a weggie who was given other biological treatment. Not sure which one, remicaid or humira. There was a thought to switch my treatment from rtx to one of those 2, when my colitis was too bad, but it remained a thought only. My wg dr. said it can work but not as good as rtx.
Sending you more prayers (psalm 91).
