The norm is 4 to 12 weeks after the first infusion. Some people have even seen results after 3 or 4 months.

Average response time is about a year. Let's hope you don't have to go this route. Once you start with all of these drugs, your body is never quite the same.

I got results right from the first treatment. They started rising and just kept going. I was actually surprised when I got the last treatment.
