Rtx efficiency - long time use - Poll

[deawndillard]

8 years. They must do it different with some. Mine has been 5 different sets. A set for me is I do a treatment once a week for 4 weeks. We watch my blood and urine. If the levels and symptoms go down i don't get another round. So far ( knock on wood) each round has put me in remission.

Thanks for all those who commented and voted. Please make sure that you voted above and only in relation to the question about rtx effieciency. If rtx never worked then none of the options above are relevant. Please share and ask more friends to vote. It cant be valid without many friends voting.

I've had GPA for six years
I'll have my 4th rtx treatment on Monday 10/31)
Rtx is the only immunosuppressant I've taken since August 2015. I'm in remission.

If we will not have many friends voting, the Poll worth nothing because it cant be valid with such a little sample. @andrew can readers who are not members also vote ?

I am only given RTX when I flare. 4 flares in 7 years at roughly equal intervals. Last of latest pair of infusions was yesterday! I have asked about its use for maintenance by my rheumatologist seems reluctant to go down that route. I am on methotrexate in between flares.

It seems that one cant vote if he comes with the taptalk or through the site for mobile. if you use the mobile, press on "view full site". then you will be able to vote.

I have had 3 rounds of Rituxan and was just told I was in remission. I have 3 more rounds scheduled. I have not been told yet what my maintenance will be.

I just had Rituxan today. I went two weeks over the 6 month mark and flared. My doc came to visit and he said he hopes that after a couple years or so of 6 month treatment I might have remission. He has at least one other patient who had that experience. First he wants me off prednisone. Then off of Methotrexate. Then off of Rituxan. This is the order of toxicity.
