Hi Katrina,

I'm sorry you have had a set back after so many years of remission.

I've had MG for 14 years. The first 6 years I had a crappy Neuro who treated me terribly and then for some reason I went into about a four year drug free remission. It sure was wonderful during that time!Just when you think you have the little booger beat, it sneaks up on you again! My MG resurfaced in full force about four years ago and I am now on Social Security Disability.

I have a WONDERFUL neurologist now and we are debating about putting me on Prednisone. I am trying to do everything in my power to avoid it if at all possible but the last couple of months have been pretty bad for me. I haven't been in contact with anyone who has tried the Rituxan therapy.

I wish you all the best in your treatment plan. When it gets really bad for me, I think about my remission and say to myself, it happened before and it can happen again.

Take Care.
