I HAVE JUST HAD AN INFUSION OF MABTHERA FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS JUST WONDERED IF ANYONE HAS HAD IT DONE AND WAS THE OUTCOME GOOD

Why are you shouting?

[bednobs]

hi, that's rituximab isn't it? I had it a few years ago but it made no difference whatsoever for me. Are you having 2 infusions?

[boikers]

yes next one in a fortnight really feeling lousy at the moment

hi divegirl cause i am deaf!!!!

[bednobs]

the infusion itself didn't make me feel any different (except i had swollen ankles from sitting around all day) and it also didn't have any affect on me. I have previously had infliximab and enbrel.

Hi Bednobs Itried enbrel but had to stop as it caused bleeding under my skin I guess I shall have to keep going and taking methotrexate I can stand the pain and aches but the feeling so tired is just awful. cheers Annie
