If uve read any of my previous post,you know i am currently having a flare in my airways. Thru the years ive been sick ive only had airway involvement for the past 4 years. Only had 1 surgery. 2 flares treated with pred which is what im currently on. My wegs has been treated with cytoxen at first...and then imuran for 7 years and then we added methotrexate because my joint pain kept reacurring. So as of 2006 ive taken imuran and methotrexate and only use pred during flares. i just had a very long conversation with my old dr. She saw i was seen in her clinic so just called to check on me. (how sweet) WE talked 45 min. Never in all my sickness has that happened. Anyway i was asking her how she feels about whether or not ive ever really reached full remission...feel like a sputtering volcano. so she brought up rituxan. She said she doesnt know what it does for airway involvement. So ive come to the experts for advice
