RUTUXIN and a little update/vent

[Guest guest]

Hi All.......well I'm still not doing so great. The pains are still the

same. I did get a little relief there for a while with my last Remicade

treatment

(about a weeks worth). Any way one of the nurses that I got friendly with at

my RD's office had mentioned to me about a med called Rutuxin (not sure if

I'm spelling it right). If anyone has taken it or is on it now could they give

me some feedback about it. I think she said it is an IV treatment just like

Remicade so my insurance would cover it. I think at my next visit to see my RD

I am going to request that I need to adjust meds or something. Because I am

at wits end.

My PCP sent me to a Dermatologist last week also. Because, this may sound

kind of crazy but, The skin on my back around my shoulder area hurt! Like, to

the touch. It is a very weird feeling. I have acquired a lot of new moles on

my back in the past 3 years or so. She took a biopsy of one and said she would

get back to me within a week or so. I am still waiting on the results. Of

coarse the first thing I think of is the BIG " C " skin Cancer........I don't

know I am a mess emotionally and physically. Thanks for listening. I can always

count on this great group!

Happy Easter!

Hugs,
