Hi guys,
I have been reading up online about the Rituximab trials and came across information where it says that Rituximab might be helpful in treating a subset of CFS patients who have a chronically activated immune system.
Was wondering if anyone knew what kind of CFS is more likely to be treated with Rituximab, or if anyone had any thoughts or ideas on this.
Of course we don't know for sure and can't make conclusions until studies are conclude/more research done etc., but I am very curious!
I haven't felt I've had a cold/flu or been "sick" since my CFS began (besides, the CFS symptoms I get which are flu like but I certainly haven't had a cold or an illness like I used to get in winter etc). Before CFS I got sick so often!!
Does this mean I have a chronically activated immune system?
