@altabiznet My diagnosis is Clippers—chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids-phew! It means that the immune system attacked my brain and left lesions and my brain wouldn’t work where the lesions were. Along with the drugs, I had therapy to help me walk, swallow, etc. I went from a wheelchair to a walker to a cane to walking unaided and now, back to a cane. It’s been a long road and Mayo Clinic Connect has made all the difference for me! Thank you for asking!
I tolerate rituxan quite well. Yes, I’m tired after, but part of that is the whole experience-usually 4-5 hours for me. I’m just so happy to get it that nothing bothers me!
