rheumatoid arthritis
"This is a follow up to a review I left on 18th July '12.   It took 4 months for rituximab to start making a real difference and what a difference it has made to me.  I can now walk and do most things that I couldn't do before I got it.  I had another infusion yesterday and I will get another in 2 weeks and that will complete my 2nd course of it.  That was 10 months between infusions although you can get it again after 6 months. I had Enbrel before starting rituximab but it didn't do a thing for me, in fact I think I got worse but rituximab has been fantastic.  The infusion took around 6 hours but it was painless and I had no problems at all during it, although I would recommend taking a book to read as it is quite a long time sitting."
