update on my new treatment
This is my update on MG treatment. So after being frustrated and depression setting in I talked with my neurologist about doing something more. Tired of being tired and not be able to do things with my family, having trouble swallowing and trying to climb my stairs. I've had 2 IViG treatments and on Azathioprine, though my doctor said he can tell I've improved strength wise my day to day activities were nonexistent. He recommended Rituximab. I had my first infusion January 29 on February 3 I woke up feeling like a new person. Walked 3 miles feeling great, didn't need to take a nap. Haven't needed to lay down and recharge, havent needed to drink coffee to get me thru the day. I can feel my muscles quivering from weakness just because I haven't been able to exercise. I've been able to walk 2 miles a day since. I go tomorrow for the second infusion. I have never been more excited about getting my life back (at least for awhile).
