Antisynthetase Syndrome: Anyone else?

Posted by nancykay1888 @nancykay1888, Feb 12, 2020

My husband was diagnosed with this autoimmune syndrome in 2017 after spending 4-1/2 months in the hospital (59 in ICU). Normally it affects women with one in 100,000 people. It has affected his pulmonary system, muscles, blood, skin and you never know when something will pop up. He has wonderful doctors who watch him very carefully. Has anyone else ever encountered this syndrome or heard of anyone with it?

I got very nauseas and dizzy.
I use medical marajuana for sleep ( indica) and myalgia( CBD).
I will premedicate with a small amount of indica before the next round in December and take a family member with me.
They premedicate with benadryl iv and zofran but it didn't cover the nausea.
My MD dc’d the oral immunosuppressant after starting rituximab and my bowel is back to normal now!
