Does more Rituxan make a difference?

I don't know about your disease. I get IVIG to help get some immunity. I get Rituxan so that my body doesn't do any more damage to my body... so the disease doesn't continue. These two drugs do not do the same thing.
If your disease is not damaging you, it seems as though you have a choice. IVIG will not stop catastrophic damage... Rituxan will. It is always your choice. My choice is to stop disease progress.

@purehope2022 my vasculitis was diagnosed before I have catastrophic organ damage, which I hear doesn't happen often. I've had 3 infusions with the 4th scheduled next week. Can't say I am having much fun but am not sure if it's the Rituxan or prednisone that is making it unpleasant! Prednisone is not my friend! I am still hopeful it will work!
