Over time, I have had 1000mg pulses of IV methylprednisilone, (seven infusions over seven months), 3000mg
Cellcept, 200mg azathioprine, 400mg of hydroxychloroquine,
and three rounds of rituximab. The only treatment that has produced remission is rituximab. I think the gastroenterologist wants to make sure nothing else (non-immune) is going on with the pancrease / liver before retreating with ritux. But, that's a guess. He is rather quiet, but nice. Thank goodness for that.
