Thanks for all these great M.E/CFS alert videos. They are doing a great service on shining a spotlight on this under researched and woefully misunderstood debilitating disease. The rituxmab treatments looks very promising.....My understanding too is that in the UK the treatment is more like £10,000 per treatment, perhaps prices vary from country to country...?
No Jim, The first treatment is two parts. Thus one treatment is $70,000. Rituxan patent is soon to expire, so that cost will come down. There are other next generation drugs coming with less side effects.
My thank you to Mr. King, for acknowledging the need to make ME/CFS a public issue. We need more of the Media to understand how this illness robs patients of their lives and report on the Neglect by our Health Agencies (NIH/CDC)

As stated rituxan is $70,000 USD per infusion. Does this mean the total cost of the initial two-infusion treatment will cost $140,000?
