I had one round of 4 infusions first and then a round of 2 infusions of Rituxan. My experience was that Rituxan was a real breeze compared to Cytoxan. Of course the one that makes me feel the worst is the one that will help me the most right? Isn't that how medicine works?
For those with sinus trouble I feel for you. I have had WG 30 years and the sinus trouble has not been gone for most of that time. In fact I suffered terribly from sinus infections for a long time. In recent times I do not get sinus infections. It is kind of puzzeling to me and my own off the cuff assessment it is that through some strange irony the WG has eroded out so much sinus material that they stay open. I know that on an MRI I was shown how much damage had been done to my sinuses . It was shocking to see an MRI of normal sinuses and then look at the one of mine. But since they don't get infected any more I think I will take what I have and be glad. I think maybe if I had a 'normal' set of sinus and current WG involvement that I would be more prone to infection. Its just a guess on my part but I thought I would throw it out there as encouragement actually that eventully you can get improvement even in the face of lots of damage. It happened to me.
