Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi - Sorry- going thru old posts and just saw this. I think the Rituxan has helped the most out of all the medicines. My first 3 treatments workred really well- the 4th- I didnt get any relief. But I went for my 5th round at the beginning of Feb and I feel much better. This biologic has lasted longer than any of the others. I highly suggest it!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hey Jill! Glad you emailed me. Did you/are you taking Methotrexate with the Rituxan? The reason I ask is that the majority of people that do the Rituxan, do it as a " combo " . I am unable to take MTX ( gave me seizures....that sure stumped the medical field!!) so I took the first and only so far of the Rituxan by itself. Most people see (from what I have heard and read) results fairly quickly. With me, it took probably 3 months to see anything to even speak of but it was at least positive. Most doctors I have seen so far have been totally stumped by this but hey, it's better than nothing! Shoot, I have been not been able to tolerate just about any and every drug out there, so for me, this was nice. Now, my results came, went and came again. The only time I had it, I would have to say it lasted far past the 6 months they tell you about. What is really interesting is that it changed the way that RA effected/effects me. But I do a good job stumping all of the doctors, so what's one more thing?? hehehehe!! Good to hear that you are doing well with it. Keep me posted and I hope the best for you! D.
