While this helps manage MG symptoms, it's important to note that this treatment may increase your risk of infections. For specific details about side effects and experiences with rituximab, it's recommended to discuss this with your doctor.

I was willing and ready to try anything. It was for my ra also and at that point I just wanted relief. I have been very lucky and have not had side effects much at all from any of the meds I’ve tried. Mostly just not getting symptom relief

Yes I have! They worked very well at first. I had them every 6 months for about 4 years. The last ones weren’t as effective so had to go to something else. I had one then 2 weeks later a second one then repeated every 6 months. It is definitely worth trying.
