My first Rituxin treatment

My first Rituxin treatment was created by GospB
It was a big flop. My body was not able to tolerate the drug.
They spent the whole day pumping me full of benadryl and steroids
trying to head off the adverse reactions but to no avail.
Each time they would start the drug they would have to stop it.
I had so hoped this would work. I got so frustrated just before
the sent me to ER I had a panic attach. I felt like I couldn't get a
breath and after the O2 was on me I began to cry.

I spent the last 2hrs in the ER for observation before they would
let me go home. I went in at 9am and was released to go home at 5pm.

The Dr. told me in the 5yrs he has been using this drug I am only the
second person he has ever had that could not tolerate it. Of course
leave it to me to be SPECIAL! :(

I have been hanging out at around 15,000-17,000. After this experince
maybe I will just hang out some more.

I can understand your frustration! What other treatments have you tried? There are so many out there. What does your doctor say about it? If your comfortable with those numbers I say go for it!

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
