Hello I would like to ask you a question. Was your Ruxience infusion used as a replacement for Prednisone? I am on 40mg of Prednisone to reduce inflammation and I need to ask my doctor about Ruxience.

Hi. Yes! Ruxience and/or Rituximab kill off your B cells - the cells that “remember” what you’ve been exposed to with the idea that your immune system will stop over-acting. Pred is very harmful in the long term, best to get off it if you can. 40g is a lot of Pred.
