I can now feel cold tile with my feet. I can also feel the depth of the pile when walking on carpet. My balance has improved significantly.

I am still wearing "boots" except the feeling is just above the ankles and not mid thigh like it was 4 months ago. I hope these are all physical changes and not my brain making it up.

Good morning, Bob. It's been 8 months since I had first infusions of Rituximab and my condition continues to improve VERY SLOWLY. Feeling is returning to feet and ankles and calves and my walking has improved. Walking in cramped spaces and standing still in one place is still hard. I still use a cane for balance if going someplace where there are lots of people and I have to thread my way between them (dept store, art gallery, etc). I saw my neuro doc at OSHU in April and he notes definite improvement. I will not have the results of that blood draw until the next appt in August. At that appt he will tell me when another series of Rituximab infusions is indicated. It looks like maybe at the 1-year mark. I'll post again after the August appt. Regards, Nancy W.
