How do I get my Rituxan treatments?
How does prednisone impact getting an infusion?
What are premeds and why are they important to the process?
Because I am at a rheumatology clinic, I am with other autoimmune patients during my infusion.  That is also a therapeutic part of the treatment.  We learn from each other and share war stories, share tips, share the burden of living with these illnesses.

Episode 235: Immunosuppressing Drugs, Rituxan Part 2

Are you one of the millions living with a chronic illness or pain?  Our diseases may be very different, but we have many of the same experiences, obstacles and frustrations.   We are all working for a better quality of life knowing that pain and limitations will be our traveling companions.  My name is Annette and I'm the host of Chronic Wellness, a brief, weekly, podcast where we talk about it all: sex, self-care, mental heath, loss of identity, anger, how to navigate health care and have less days that suck so hard.

I have this belief that: If health is the absence of disease, and wellness is the presence of wholeness;  whether or not I'm ever "healthy" again, I can work work toward my wellness, my wholeness.  

Curious?  Join me where you listen to Podcasts, for a few moments of Chronic Wellness.
