Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hello! My name is . I seem to have a particularly stubborn form of RA. I started having symptoms about 4 years ago and it took almost a year to diagnose. My rheumy has put me on Remicade, then Humira and finally Orencia. None of which worked worth a darn. The Methotrexate isn't helping either and I'm on more pain pills than I know what to do with. He wants me to consider taking Rituxan and I'm a little nervous about it. When I took the Remicade I had such a severe reaction to it that they had to stop it immediately. This is why I'm so nervous about the Rituxan. Someone told me there's a high rate of reaction with this drug, so with my current track record, that doesn't sound too appealing an option. Sorry my post is so long, I guess I just needed to vent to someone who understands what I'm going through. My two kids and boyfriend and wonderfully supportive, but they don't truly know what I'm going through. Somedays I just get a little frustrated and down in the dumps. Thanks for listening (reading)!
