Hello. I was diagnosed in March 2016 with rheumatoid arthritis as well as Wegeners. My Rheumatologist put me on methotrexate and after 3 months the side effects were so severe I asked to try something else. I had my first rituxan infusion 2 weeks ago and will start my second one tomorrow. I chose not to take the predisone longer than 2 weeks because of the side effects. My doctor doesn't seem to give me answers and I am so physically mentally spiritually and emotionally exhausted I don't know which way to turn. Does anyone have both WG and RA? My main concern with side effects of both meds I have tried is the severe fatigue and muscle weakness. I'm 43 and have 2 younger children to care for and I am the sole provider. I believe the WG was caught early but I want to try and prevent my condition from worsening. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks
