Saw my rheumies on Tuesday. They agree that mtx is not controlling my wegs. We have recently increased the mtx to 30 mg injectible, and will continue with that. But we will now add Imuran to the coctail.
They did say that they'd be willing to skip ahead to Rituxan. But my wegs is not life threatening, and to be honest, rtx scares me a bit. In the end, they let me decide how aggressively I want to attack. There's still the hope that the increased mtx will help soon. If the mtx/Imuran coctail doesn't show any promise in the next 8 weeks, I'll swallow my fear, and ask for rtx.
Question: My biggest complaint right now, is that the pressure in my head (sinuses, ears, not sure where it's coming from), causes me to be lightheaded all the time, and sometimes dizzy. I have trouble concentrating, and sometimes feel "drunk", for lack of a better word. Ok, I guess that was a statement......the question is.........Is this a common wegs complaint???
Any thoughts about my new treatment plan?
