Hey everyone. Hope everybody is doing well. I just wanted to share the awesome news... on Tuesday, February 20th 2024 I got my second dose of Rituximab, single dose this time. By the time I was ready to go home, I felt perfectly fine. For about 3 or 4 days after that, I only had skin itching for 2 of those days. As of today, one week later, all problems Vasculitis are gone!!! What?!? Not a single problem! Looks like this time around it's working because my first dose on September 1st 2023, it was a double dose and it was with steroids. I thought it was working, not realizing it was from the help of the steroids. This time around there was no steroids, only the premeds. I'm so happy!

Thanks to everybody who gave me input on this and what to expect. I hope this time it lasts longer. My next treatment should be around August and I think we have to re-apply with my insurance because last year's coverage was for 3 doses. First infusion was doses 1 & 2 at the same time. So now that my second treatment, dose 3 has been used to last week, I have nothing left for the next round...but I'm still happy that nothing hurts anymore. Yay!!!
