Experience with Ritxuximab (Rituxan) Help please

[Guest guest]

Has been a long time since my last post , but once again coming to the group

asking on behalf of my friend for updates on people's experience with Rituxan

...Did it 'work' and particularly how long before you noticed first signs of

improvement?

After much delay my friend eventually received the 2 infusions, and was told it

took some weeks before seeing any benefits.

However she is becoming increasingly despondent, as it is now 13 weeks, and the

RA still seems to be progressing painfully and remorselessly.She is due to see

her rheumy in 3 weeks.

She would appreciate any feedback. Of course everyone is different, but she is

praying for a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks, UK
