@runnergirl 13 years is a long time. Is autoimmune autonomic neuropathy a more generic diagnosis with less targeted treatments?

May I ask what the difference is between Rituxan and CellCept?

@erikas Thanks for responding to my post.
Autonomic neuropathy is not necessarily a generic diagnosis. It's just not as common as other causes as SFN. As for treatments, I'm working with my doctors on trying to find one.
Regarding the drugs, Rituxan targets the B cells and CellCept targets the T cells.
@juanito I'm so sorry to hear of all the challenges you've been dealing with. This disease is certainly emotionally distressing. May I ask where you read about the 5-10 year life expectancy after diagnosis?
Thanks again!
