Best wishes to you with your RTX tx's.
Quick update will receive my last treatment Monday I have had no reaction other than a scratchy throat. Let u know soon. BTW...Insurance still wanted to know if Cellcept put the dog in slumber why then RTX....figure!
I get RTX now as treatment for a flare - just into my third flare in 5.3 years since diagnosis. Consultant rang me today after seeing my blood test result as the joint pain had really started to come back hard. CRP and ESR both gone through the roof - had me restart pred (20mg) immediately and is organising another RTX infusion. I am amazed at how quickly the pred reduces the joint pain - almost like magic!
Boy...3 flares in 5 years. Whoa!
