Immunosuppressant Effect of Rituxin

[Pete]

I would avoid crowds until at least early December and even after then wear a mask and take other precautions when out in the crowds for another 2 months after that.

Thanks, Phil. I knew I could count on you for some specific guidance. That shouldn't be too difficult for me now since I can come and go pretty much at my discretion.

Poppy, the main thing is that you are getting rtx for treatment now. How many infusions total are you getting this round?

[Poppy64]

I got 2 doses to start and then one every 3 to 6 months. My next one is in February.

I think my doctor said 3 months, but I could be wrong. She also said to avoid people who are sick while using Rituxan. I'm sure my doctor wouldn't be happy if she heard I bought a ticket for the OSU game Saturday. I would listen to Phil... and maybe I should too... I hope it helps with your symptoms and your next infusion goes well too! Enjoy Memphis!

Naughty girls, especially that Rebekah....gonna get a spanking soon if they don't listen to Dr. Phil....

[Poppy64]

It's hard to avoid people. I take a bus and 2 trains to and from work everyday. I never realized how yucky some people can be until I was diagnosed. I Purell constantly. It's gonna be a long winter!

Just get some masks and wear them on the bus and train.

[Poppy64]

I'll start doing that. Thanks for the advise.

Just get some masks and wear them on the bus and train.

... and a cape too right?

Thank you, Dr. Phil, for the warnings
I admit that I didn't know all this, my doc didn't tell me anything about it
maybe you should spank him instead of poor Rebekah
