Rituximab target question

[62milestogojoe]

Good and this is what I want b/c if I go into remission from Rituximab then it is proof that I have a B cell autoantibody driven disease (which is what my doctor is now calling it).

So ME may be an autoimmune disease as has seemed probable in speculations by a lot of people. Remember the brain auto antibody stuff we discussed?

I should clarify that he feels that my particular illness is a B-cell autoantibody driven disease but he is not saying that ME/CFS in general is this (which remains to be determined in the future).

Sort of . I remember talking to you but not fulling understanding everything (because of my lack of science background, not because of you). I would have majored, or even minored, in science if I knew I was going to get sick b/c the background is so incredibly useful to have.

GG I was an EFL teacher for 10 years (English degree) but had always followed biology as a great supporter of WWF and physics as someone interested in string and M theory-----how many realities? Possibly more than we can access!

The point I am trying to make is it is never too late to pursue formal education or educate yourself informally. You're smart. Go for it!
