Rituxan

Anti mag neuropathy appears to be a rather rare disease and one that has different symptoms in different people. I suffer from numbness in my feet, lower legs and in my hands. Others who say they have anti mag have pain in their extremities, not me. I have been treated with rituxan on two different occasions and both times the results were positive and helpful. The last time was two years ago and I am guessing that I will need another treatment within the next two years. Rituxan appears to be a treatment and not a cure. Weather seems to play a part in my neuropathy. I live in a temperate ocean climate. The temperatures rarely get over 95 degrees and most of the time the temps are 55-75. Warmer weather makes the numbness more pronounced. At times during cool weather the numbness in my hands is barely noticeable, during periods of hot weather the numbness is quite bothersome and uncomfortable. Needless to say but I have been avoiding the really hot summer weather that frequents much of our country. One thing that helps with my hands is to keep actively using them. The do get uncomfortable after some time on the computer but I go to the health club three days a week and workout with weights and I always feel better when I leave and the numbness is less noticeable. When I sleep I always put my hands under the pillow where they feel better.
