Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I may be interested in the study. I fight fatigue more than the pain. Contact me offlist. hoyt91@... Vicki ----- Original Message ----- From: Spencer Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 7:51 AM Subject: rituxan study Good Morning folks, My file (rheumatologist's) flagged me as a potential candidate for a study on rituxan for moderate to severe RA. I was contacted last week, then sent written literature and consent forms. If I pass the screening, I will be eligible for the study. Information seems very complete, and I also had several family members as well as DIL, who works at Cornell and is familiar with study procedure, examine info. All said it seemed very thorough and could be beneficial if I qualify and am actually receiving the med instead of placebo. I wondered if anyone else here is in or considering being a part of such a study as well? Would you be able to share your experience or feelings on this? Appreciate it. I am leaning strongly towards it as have been in a flare for over six months now after being in "almost remission" for quite a while. I tolerate the pain, but it would be so nice not to have it. I think the fatigue is worse than the pain. Want to do so much, and just don't have the energy. Thanks and gentle hugs, (in Western NY) Talk is cheap. Use Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.
