Thank you for sharing. What is your diagnosis for use of Rituxan?
Do you have any improvements in mobility, e.g. less joint pain and stiffness post Rituxan infusions?

@altabiznet Definitely relief in joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. After the infusion I felt a lot better within a couple of weeks. I had energy, color in my lips and face, didn’t feel fragile, could easily get out of bed, and lifting was easier. I felt amazing.
Before the shot I found it hard to understand and describe my AI symptoms, the body pain clouded my thoughts. I feel I have more clarity.
My mobility is a much better. I can walk barefoot on the tile floor! Pre-Rituxin I had to wear shoes with thick gummy soles.
Today my pain and stiffness are mild and it’s okay if it worsens. I felt better than I did in years and know I can feel that way again.
I wish I could give you a better answer on mobility but my secondary diseases affect how I walk. The pain, stiffness and swelling is better. I’m very careful and sometimes use a cane.
Practicing self love and respect everyday. Wishing everyone a sense of community and togetherness.
