Has anyone been treated with infusions of Rituxan for ELP? I heard that the Mayo Clinic is using it on ELP patients but I have no further info. Does anyone receive this treatment or know of someone with ELP who does? Thx in advance for any info that you can provide!

@snowfire I looked up answers to your question about ELP and rituxan. What I found was that it is still in the investigational stage. This article from the National Institutes of Health talks about the studies of rituxan.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23228815/. The answer is “don’t hold your breath.”
How long have you had ELP and what is your treatment?
