RAhope

I was diagnosed 11yrs ago when I was 50 after having a breakdown due to my marriage. Stress bought it on.

The pain was unbearable & my levels shot up so high.

I was first put on prednisone, Plaquenil, and methotrexate - they didn’t work.

Then I tried the 3 injections they also didn’t help.

At last, I found a great rheumatologist who put me on infusions of Rituxan and MabThera & they saved my life.

Hope after RA treatment

I must admit after 4 yrs of no meds I had a relapse & had another infusion, otherwise, I’m fine.

Of course, my life changed from running a business, having 2 kids & being fit & energetic & I know that I can no longer be my old self, however, I have come a long way & those suffering & can’t find a solution do try these infusions.

I pray & hope that they find a medication that will cure these autoimmune diseases.

Good luck to all of you. Only those who suffer RA will understand.
