I don't know how we could possibly know this with 100% certainty? In the 3+ years that I have been on the boards, I have seen constant times when...
What is "Relapsing Polychondritis" (RP) and how do the symptoms present? (I apologize, I do not have time to Google it right now but plan to...
I vaguely remember this, too, although I do not remember the specifics.
That's what I keep thinking, too, and am not sure (yet) why 30% response rate is so bad? (Unless the 30% was from the placebo group). My...
My experience, if you decide to bother with this, is that Whole Foods will take anything back for any reason, including food, and including if it...
Interesting thoughts re: Unrest, and I wanted to reply, but I know it is off topic, too, so will wait and reply in a future thread!
That was my reaction, too, and I want to learn more about the group who was in the 30%.
I don't actually understand what the final statistics are re: the responders but if it is 30% (from the Ritux group and not the placebo group),...
Alvin, I am still thinking it is the people with auto-antibodies who are the potential responders but I have always wondered what is the overlap...
I don't know what this means? I meant that each illness has certain unique terminology and when multiple docs told me that I had "CFS" in 2013...
Alvin, you are correct that I have never experienced PEM. I was given a diagnosis of "CFS" by several doctors in 2013 and told there was no...
Good for you @Sunshine3 and I agree with you that all hope is not lost. "Onward" is the only way to go and I am so proud of you and all you've...
I thought that too and am kind of surprised but I know nothing about how these studies work!
I absolutely believe this as well. From one of the posts above, it looks like the patients in the study received 500 mg of Ritux (regardless of...
I didn't know which category I was in and found your post really interesting. I never understood the difference between autoimmune or...
@Inara, thanks for explaining and this is horrible! My understanding is that the Rituximab that I received came from Genentech (the American...
Thanks @Woolie and I was just curious and trying to relate this to my own case which doesn't quite seem to fit in anywhere. My doctor said that I...
I don't understand the quote but does it mean that in 2005 to 2015 there was a "fake" version of Rituximab in use in Germany (or elsewhere)? I...
@Woolie that was an excellent write up (for someone with my level of science background!) and in general. If I understand it correctly, my...
According to the research, FQ antibiotic injuries can appear many months after finishing the antibiotic which makes them so difficult to diagnose...
