Hi everyone,
I finally got to see my specialist Dr. Sreih at UPENN yesterday. He is the most professional, compassionate doctor I've ever met. He spend about 1 1/2 hrs with me & my husband going over bloodwork and explaining everything.
Then he gave me the treatment plan which scared the heck out of me. Currently, I was only taking 10mg of pregnisone but he is raising it to 40mg for two weeks, then taper to 30, then two week to 20 etc. Also, I have to take bactrum antibiotic 3x week. And I also have to get Rituxan intravenous once a week for 4 weeks. I'm so nervous about side effects but I know I have to trust the doctor. He wants to go aggressive with the treatment. If anyone has some helpful advice to get me through the treatment, please let me know
Michelle
