Default I just had Rituaxin

i had 2 infusions just 3 weeks ago by the 4th day after 1st infusion I woke up a brand new person. My MG was really affecting my day to day life. Trouble walking up my stairs, swallowing, trying to grocery shop. I had 2 IViG treatments 5 months apart with no results, currently take Azathioprine 150mg. The Rituxan has a led me to take 2 mile walks daily and yesterday I walked down 4 flights of stairs and jogged back up. I could barely walk up my stairs at home for over a year. Yes I'm excited about this progress. When diagnosed all my labs were normal. I was diagnosed with Tensilon and exam June of last year. I am now wanting to do a Thymectomy to hopefully keep this good thing going. I hope you get some relief from this crazy disease.
