I had rituxan in July 2014 and again in October 2014. I went into remission and have not had a flair since. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. My doctor did not want to give rituxan for maintenance...

I would let your doctor know what is going on with you. He/she will let you know what you need to do and watch out for. I did get a sinus infection following retuxan and it got more severe than it...

Welcome Mark, I hope you do not have WG but it is a good thing you have a Dr that is somewhat suspicious. It took two years or more for Dr to figure out my diagnosis and by that time I had kidney...

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. 2015 was finally a good year for me.

Bing - Lovely Christmas tree. I'm finally feeling normal thanks to two doctors you and I know. Here's...

I was not given any maintenance drugs after my RTX treatments. It's been 15 months now since my last RTX and I have not had a flaur. My blood work is checked a few months and is looking fine.

Alysia - I had something similar happen with me. I was scheduled to have my RTX treatment and had to go on antibiotic for a sinus infection which turned into athsma. I called my Rheume and he told me...

Middlesista - I have had two rounds of RTX. The first in July 2014 and again in October 2014. According to my doctor a second round usually follows six months after the first. My second round was...

Alysia - a beautiful conversation between two beautiful souls. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Hi Fiona, I went undiagnosed for two years. The problems I had with my ears was all on the exterior but it was very painful. I have kidney and heart involvment. I have had rituxan twice. Once in July...

Good news Kyle. Congratulations. Hope things continue to improve.

Hi Raynb and welcome to the forum. We are glad you found us but sad why you had to go looking for a forum such as ours. It sounds like you had a rather quick diagnosis which is lucky. It often takes...

Welcome to the forum. Your daughter's story sounds a lot like mine, except mine started with the leg pains and I knew it could not be growing pains at the age of 65. My doctors had not clue what it...

Send us the rain Michelle. I live near the Gulf of Mexico south of Houston. We are desperate for some of that rain we had in June. It is expected to be 103 or 104 degrees for the next couple of days.

Congratulations. Thank you for sharing and for the lovely pictures. You have a beautiful little boy and lots of good times to look forward to.

Love your sense of hummor Gary. Your posts make me smile. :biggrin1:

Gilders - sorry to hear about the bad time you are having. I pray that things will start getting better quickly. Hang in there.

The last time my mother was hospitalized and received high doses of steroids and pain meds she also had hallucinations and bouts of memory loss. She was seeing people in her room who were not there....

Remembering Phil. Can it really be a year already. Rest in peace Phil. We will never forget you.

Andrew, glad to hear things are getting better for you. Keep it up.

Congrats on the new knee. Hope things go smoothly from now on.

Glad to hear all went well.

I too had bad muscle cramps - especially in the legs, ankles and toes. I started having them before my rtx treatments so I'm convinced it was from the high dose of pred. I had them again during pred...

How did the first treatment go? Thinking of you and your sister.

Welcome to the group KVincent! Glad you decided to stop lurking and join us.

Birdie, I had the same thing happening with my heart beat. Mine started one day and did not quit. Heart rate kept jumping from normal about 60 beats per minute to 150 beats per minute. The...
