Penn, I can see that we both have lots of questions. I will try to answer the ones I can. Coincidentally, I just had my second treatment with Retuximab 6 mos after the last one in April of this year. Retuxiab is a monoclonal antibody that helps the body clear out B lymphocytes that are thought to be part of the problem for autoimmune folks. Sjogrens is thought to use B lymphocytes as part of its attack on our bodies. It helped me enough to repeat, with little to no side effects so worth a repeat. IvIg is where they collect healthy gammaglobulin from lots of healthy people and give it to you. It is for all autoimmune people. They have been using it for over 30 yrs and are just now figuring out how it works.
Sicca is the collective name for the conditions of dry eye, mouth and skin that are caused by Sjogrens.
The treatments you mention, I do not know what they are. Could you explain them?
