rheumatoid arthritis
"Diagnosed with RA March 2014.  Disease fast tracked through me and rendered me unable to walk by April 2015.  Have had all oral DMRADs plus Enbrel which made no difference. I was suffering immense pain and could barely leave the house.  Had first Rituximab infusion Sept 2015 second 2 weeks later. Zero side effects. It has taken 10 weeks for me to feel any effect but I am now walking unaided and feel so much better.  I can drive, have a bath and live a normal life again.   I live in Scotland and my drugs are paid for by our NHS.  I have great support from the entire Rheumatology team since being diagnosed."
