Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I was previously on Remicade that put me into remission for a few years.  I wanted to have a child so I had to discontinue all medicines.  I was still in remission so all was fine until a year ago when my hip just gave out.  Needless to say, I am too young for hip surgery so my RA doctor recommended Rituximaub.  I had my first does 3 days ago.  I had a bad reaction after the rate was increased but after another dose of Benadryl and slowing down the medicines, all was fine.  I have had no pain in my hip and feel great besides the grogginess from the Benadryl.  My second dose is in 2 weeks and I hope that my pain will be gone (for at least 6 months).  To God be the Glory!"
