Neuropathy Update

It has been two months since my last treatment with rituxan. So far there has been very little improvement. My balance is still in question but is getting marginally better. Cycling and skiing are still not an option.

I'll be taking another blood test to see what the numbers are but I'm holding off until June or July thinking it takes the rituxan some time to work. Previous experience says best results will occur after 6 months.

Another note there is a CIDP group on Facebook which has put me in touch with a few people with my disease. My condition is rather rare, being able to compare notes with others like me is helpful to understanding my condition and what has worked for others.
