I’m still coughing after the Rixutan infusions too. My scans came back and my pulmy said there’s nothing other than the usual mess my lungs look like. He says it can take 2-3 months to see the full effect of Rituxan working, but I had them in March and I can’t shake the cough. I thought I would have seen some improvement re: coughing, but mine hasn’t gotten worse like you. I did just have another infusion so maybe that’s part of the reason for me? My primary put me on antibiotics but that hasn’t worked and wants to try another one. As if I didn't have headaches already, looking through the packet I got when I started RTX and online, I see that coughing can be a side effect from RTX. Like you, I’m tired of antibiotics not working and don’t really want to try another. I might just wait it out and hope things improve soon. But I seem to be doing a lot of that and it hasn’t been a good thing for me to do. I just never know if it’s from WG, the meds, or something else. I guess the saying that doctors make the worst patients is true... Well, I typed this and realize it’s not very helpful, sorry. I blame it on the boredom of not taking classes this summer. If you find something that helps please share. Hope you feel better soon.
Nothing can break you; you are much stronger than you think... look at what you've already survived.
