    Once one gets past the 'scary' stage and begins to deal with WG as a part of one's life, then things seem to get better and more manageable. Not to say that we should never be scared, but it's a stage...imagine all the cancer & AIDS patients who have to learn to deal with their new facts of life...we are the same...there is hope sometimes, but there is always life to deal with as best as we can...the best to all of us who are and who have been scared!! Still looking for MY cup of coffee...sighs...

    I just had two infusions of rituxin while on 60mg of prednisone.

    Docs are knocking it down hard and fast. As the rtx takes effect, they will begin lowering the pred, thus lowering some of the craziness you may feel right now. Keep a good attitude and hang tough.

    30mg daily pred with first round of Rtx, 20mg with the second round (about 10 months later) down to 1mg pred now and hoping to catch the next flair early and not have to jump too high back on the prednisone roller coaster. It has been 9 mounths and my doctor just got the Rtx pre-approved with insurance so as soon as signs show a flair we can treat again. FYI: still on weekly metheltrexate.
