Plasmapheresis

Please can I ask if anyone has been given this and what your experiences are.

When I was first under investigation following TIA and diagnosed with vasculitis and SLE ( the vasculitis is now under dispute with neuro who says vasculopathy) the rheumy I saw wanted to give me this treatment.

I was first given cyclophosphamide and then quite quickly Rituximab, once I had the Rituximab I was transferred to a different rheumy (something to do with biological drugs I think). I have brought up the plasmapheresis with his team once but they dismissed it.

I am really keen to find out if anyone has experience if it.

Thanks

Louise
