I would suggest trying Rituximab. When I started Ritux, I had given up DMD's in general but 2 days after taking my first infusion I could tell I had found my DMD. Almost any listed side effects for drugs aren't fun and a reasonable person would never take any drug but you will never know if you will experience some or none of the sides unless you try. I don't know if Rituximab is the drug for you but we'll never know unless you try!

I took rituximab for two years. The side effects are scary the rare fortunately. Many find it effective. I did for first year.

I've been on Rituximab for over ten years. It has been working well for me... I did drop in my blood counts , but I now also get IVig treatments and that has been solved.

I have taken Retuximab for about 2-2 1/2 years. I started with Gilenya. There’s been no MS progression with Retuximab and I’ve remained lesion free. My doses have been twice a year and now this year they will start as once a year. This way I can remain on it longer. We can’t be on one DMT forever-I just don’t think it’s possible. Retuximab is basically Ocrevus-just labeled different. Look that up!
