Update on rheumatologist appointment

[Stynk]

Hi. Thanks to all who commented on my rituximab post. Was at the rheumatologist today. He wants me to reduce to a three day week until next treatment takes effect. While I agree I currently have no balance and spend all time away from work trying to give my kids time and recovering to start over. I don't like the feeling of letting people down. Have not told work yet dreading that conversation. Fingers crossed I get taken in soon.

How do others manage infrequent infusions and work. He want to wait and see again before the next one and said I could expect to flare a couple times a year between infusions. Should I accept this or push for more fixed schedule. I am 41 and he has concerns on long term immunosuppressant use.

I have possible MS which humira exasperated so can't have any anti-ting and mtx and plaqunil not managing things.

Thank you again for all the support.

Hi

Please don't worry about work, they should be the least on your mind. More important are; you, your illness, your family..... need I go on?

You need to think of your health first.If cutting down will help you you must do that.I tried to do that and thought only of people at work who I thought I would be letting down.It didn't work as I tried to keep up and had to go on sick then leave in the end.
