My stage is going into secondary progressive and no medicines to date for this - the rituxan is a new approach for MS. But lots of side effects I've read.
Have MS and neurlgst suggests Rituxan for my stage of MS. Any thoughts from others?

I've had Rituxan with Cytoxan for 6 sessions, once a week, for 6 weeks, for anemia and lymphoma. I will continue Rituxan every 6 months for one month for 2 years. The last 6 treatments gave me NO side effects at all. I received Benadryl before each chemo drip so that I would not have any allergic reactions, all went well. Went home and got on with my life. Hope this helps you make a decision. Good luck to you.
