First stage

First stage of the desensitization process was today, one 6 hour round of Rituxan.  And of course I decide to have a reaction to it.  Luckily though it was a very common reaction...swelling in my throat, flushed red face and the chills.  Boy, do I know how to have fun or what.? 😬 We had to pause treatment for about an hour while they pumped me with Benadryl, steroids, Demerol, Ativan and one more thing I don't remember. Once my symptoms were mostly resolved, we were able to continue with the treatment. Monday we'll be onto my first round of plasma exchange and IVIG therapy.  I'll let you know that goes next week.

Have a fabulous weekend all!
