I was diagnosed with the disease in 2012, by a eye doctor in Greenville SC. He referred me too Emory University Hospital in Atlanta Georgia, my doctors are Dr Feldman (Derm) and Dr Dholakia (Optomoligist), I have had seven treatments of Rituxamab over the past three years. Dr Feldman is trying me on a maintenance program with one treatment of Rituxamab every 18 months. I refuse to take the predisone any more since it caused so many problems with my weight and mood.
