Hi,

I'm Tim and have been diagnosed with MAG Positive Neuropathy. I'm somewhat confused with all the jargon at times so bare with me. According to a recent blood test (MAG-SGPG Ab (IgM), EIA) my level of Antibodies to Ganglioside GM1 is 1:102400. The norm as I understand it should be in the area of 1:800. I was first diagnosed in 2009. Presently, the progression had been very rapid and it has now spread into both feet and legs, with weakness of strength in both hands and balance problems. My Neurology Specialist is suggesting a Rituxan IV infusion treatment. This I'm not totally aware of what affects this will do for my problem. I have been given the information that this treatrment is to offset my immune system from attacking my nerves and muscels due to the extremely high elevated antibodies. I would like to hear more on the use of Rituxan or other medications for this problem.
