Hello Magnolia!
Welcome to the Forum. I had two infusions of rituximab about 18 months ago. My rheumatologist prescribed them to knock down kidney involvement that was just starting. This was in addition to 20 mg/week of methotrexate and 60 mg/day of prednisone. The infusions took about six weeks for full effect. Since then, I have tapered down to 3 mg/day of prednisone and 15 mg/week of methotrexate. I have no sign of active disease now.
Do you have a doctor who is experienced treating wegs?
Good luck and better health!!
