Sorry, I started to write and …. You got just fit! Every person responds to treatment differently. I have had Rituxan, but it didn’t affect my numbers or how I felt. Many of us will tell you that we have taken many treatments until we found something that works for us. For me, what I have found to be very important, is to be strong and advocate for myself. I was given the standards - anti-inflammatories, prednisone, plaquenil, then the next level is methyl trexate, and lastly, the newer biologicals. If I am prescribed treatment, I do them to the letter, and if my numbers don’t improve over a reasonable amount of time, I advocate to try something else in the tool box. I don’t settle for feeling bad, and if my lab results confirm little to no change, I go on to the next drug.
