Subject: Rituximab & Mycophenolate

Hi All, I've had arthritis for over 10 years and I'm only young. I've been on prednisolone, azathioprine and methotrexate self injections. None f the have helped and I'm getting worse. I don't have just RA so a bit difficult to deal with. My Dr has advised I think about Ritiximab & Mycophenolate but neither have a lot of background. Has anyone used these? I would love to hear your views!

Thanks Val. I have rheumatoid but, along with ANA arthritis with a background of lupus in my bloods. This is why I can't have anti TNF drugs in case Lupus is brought to the surface.

Hi Jill, I'm not too sure myself I know it is to do with the lupus side of things so its through the blood but when my Dr speaks about it she gives me so much info I can't take it all in. Sure you know how I feel.
