Just started my first rituxan infusion for pemphigus vulgaris. Should be done by 7pm. Hoping for no side effects so I can continue this treatment plan and possible IVIG treatments later on if this doesn’t work. Hope I feel well enough to go to havasu this weekend for a few hours on the boat since I haven’t been all summer for some lake therapy.

Enjoying this heated massage chair though!!

Here are some pictures of what the disease can do. It causes blistering and open sores. It’s is mostly on my back and chest.
It is spreading to my scalp and causing lesions and loss of hair.

…My very best wishes for you on your treatments… Sweet girl like you really shouldn’t have to be going through all this… But sometimes life takes very crooked turns…

Good Luck young lady. SJP’s Mom is getting IVIG treatments for a different auto-immune affliction and they are very effective. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We hope you can enjoy some quality time in Havasu. Fight On, SJP’s dad.
