[Devics-spectrum] Rituxan and Psoriasis.

February 3, 2012 by Grace   Comments (0)

Every time that I have my Rituxan infusion, within a short time I have a bad
Psoriasis flare. This makes perfect sense to me as NMO is B Cell mediated
and Rituxan depletes B Cells, while Psoriasis is T Cell mediated.

Right now, my scalp is really bad and the topical treatments aren't working.
Over the last year, I've lost over half of the thickness of my hair, and my
scalp is extremely itchy (I even scratch it in my sleep). The injectable
medications are out of the question since I'm already on Rituxan.

Is anyone else dealing with Psoriasis and if so, what medications are you
using?

Grace
