Recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the lung

I have been hospitalized on and off locally for 3 months. Could not remain home for longer than 4 days before I would suffer from pleural effusion. Took a trip to Mayo Jacksonville to finally be diagnosed with RA of the lungs. Waiting to start Rituxan IV. Now currently on prednisone temporarily. Feel like a person again. No where near my old self but able to function somewhat.

@auntcarol You’re the 2nd person to mention RA of the lungs! I had never heard of it. @marg1259 started this discussion about RA of the lungs. Do you have generalized RA?
I’m certainly glad you joined Mayo Connect! We’d love to have you participate in the discussions.
Can you tell us more about what led to your going to Mayo
