Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I am 55 year old male that has been diagnosed with RA. I&#039;ve been on rituxan now for 6 years. Through trial and error it lasted me effectively for one year. By choice I stopped taking methotrexate that they said should accompany with the rituxan about the same time I started infusions. My reasons being reading the possible side effects from methotrexate to ones liver. This drug has been a life saver for me from sleepless nights from chronic pain and not being able to walk or even go to work. I have to say it&#039;s really giving my life back to me. I&#039;ve also learned not to ever let this drug wear off because it&#039;s at least for me like jumping off a cliff. The pain comes back so fast its unbearable."
