"So it has been about 5 weeks since I had the Rituxan infusion. I have not really noticed an improvement, so I am disappointed. At least, its not worse. And I know some of you have pain in many joints, my pain is just in my hands, but it is constant and aggravating. I do get some relief from soaking them in warm water. Works better than any drugs I have been given, but doesn't last. And my skin is very dry from my frequent soakings. I get some pain in my knees but only when i am going down stairs or getting up from a crouch, which I avoid as much as possible. It is tough to play with the grandkids though. I would like to pick them up, or to squat down to their level. I am also still on plaquinel and 5 mg prednisone."
