Default Rituxan anyone?

Has anyone here used Rituxan for their mg? If so, what has been your experience? I'm seriously thinking of talking to my neuro about doing a round of Rituxan shortly. All the research I have done indicates it is very helpful for mg patients and I haven't seen any major side affects.

For those not familiar with my history, I was diagnosed in 2000, had a thymectomy in 2005 and have been on almost all treatments for mg; mestinon, Cellcept, IVIG, Cytoxan, and Imuran. Recently, my arms, hands and fingers are being greatly affected by the mg, which is a real bummer because I love to quilt and cook and I need my hands and arms for both. I have dropped many things (at home and in stores) and I need to be extremely careful when carrying hot pots of food from the stove to the sink.

Just wanted to know anyone else's experience with Rituxan and if you considered it but decided not to use it, I would like to know your reasoning.

Thanks for all your help and stay warm and dry!
