I have rituxan for my lupus - if has worked for parts of my lupus, but not for my PN. It may have slowed the damage down (it's hard to know - I have mainly motor neuropathy) but it hasn't improved any of the areas already affected by motor loss.

Rituxan would only be useful to your dad if there was an autoimmune basis to his neuropathy, as it works by interferring with the production of autoantibodies. Basically it kills off all the B cells, which are involved in the production of antibodies.

Has your dad's doctor suggested rituxan for him?

cheers
