Thanks Becky, for responding. I will be starting the rituxan treatments with one treatment per week for the first 4 weeks. Thereafter that I don't know what the schedule will be. Can you please tell me the reactions you had to the rituxan treatments and how severe they were? Did rituxan help and how are you doing? Thanks again, Rose

@geegie Glad you’ll be starting rituxan. I’ve had no bad effects from the rituxan. I get 1000mgs twice a year (so 2 doses a year).
I also get 25 msg of Benadryl and 2 tablets of Tylenol before each dose. I have a very different AD than you and rituxan is probably standard for lupus. It is still a trial drug for my disease (which is inflammation in the brain). Good luck! And be sure to let me know how everything goes!
