Waiting a new blood test

It is July and I am waiting for the results of my latest blood test. The neuropathy symptoms aren't any worse nor are they any better. The hands are still numb as are the legs. Hot weather seems to make things worse cool weather makes things better. I am still active and I have not lost much strength. I attend a health club three days a week and am holding steady on my weights but not really improving at any of my exercises. My doctor and I talked about another rituximab treatment pending the outcome of the latest blood test. A major problem is the cost, Medicare does not cover rituximab for my ailment and the price tag is in the thousands.
