At this time I am only taking mestinon. I won't have any further treatment plans until after I see Dr. Ruple in Sept.

At this point I am gathering information about Rituximab and have no definite date to change treatments. I am starting monthly IVIGs again tomorrow and will continue to take CellCept. I hope my leg/arm weakness symptoms will improve again. The new Rituximab treatment option was just proposed by my doc on Monday. Concerned about side effects and want to explore Rituximab before jumping into a change.
