365Rheum: 2nd Rituximab Infusion

http://365rheum.blogspot.com/2012/05/2nd-rituximab-infusion.html

Thursday, May 3, 2012. My second infusion was April 30th. The infusion was uneventful! Unfortunately, my RA pain levels are the same. The pain is the most severe in the morning (take your breath away), and is a constant all day. It is mostly in my hips, and low back, which makes bending, twisting, sitting to standing, a difficult chore. I am learning to adapt my surroundings and environment more and more to make things accessible to my wants and needs. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A WARNING for RA...

365Rheum: Are YOU worth it?

http://365rheum.blogspot.com/2012/06/are-you-worth-it.html

Friday, June 8, 2012. Are YOU worth it? As many of you know, I am a big fan of social media. On twitter the conversations in the RA world often center around the poor doctor care many have received during the course of their illness. There are some days when, if I only based my opinions by what I read on twitter, I would think there are honestly no good doctors out there! Is he worth the mileage to find a new doctor? He will never recover that year of his life! But, you have to commit yourself to doing t...

http://365rheum.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-rituximab-journey-continues.html

Thursday, July 5, 2012. My Rituximab Journey Continues. In the meantime, I have finally hooked up with a few fellow positive minded #Rheum patients who take Rituximab. We call ourselves the #RituxanRockstars a term coined by @Peaches42 when she described how Rituximab made her feel (Like a Rockstar!

http://365rheum.blogspot.com/2012/05/learning-to-live.html

365Rheum: Good Days, Bad Days, Rheum Days

http://365rheum.blogspot.com/2012/07/good-days-bad-days-rheum-days.html

Thursday, July 19, 2012. Good Days, Bad Days, Rheum Days. I had a rituximab chemo infusion today, and part of the pre med is a large dose of IV steroid, so I am feeling very good (Steroids reduce the inflammation of RA). However, it also hypes you up, where you can't sleep and you are the energizer bunny! The infusion went very well and I tolerated the procedure better then in the past, now, comes the prayer that it will work! Some days are yellow. A happy face. this is ME, before. And low, low down.

http://365rheum.blogspot.com/2012/04/ring-that-fits-alwaysand-forever.html

Thursday, April 5, 2012. A ring that fits. always.and forever. I have not posted in a long time. I have been thru another medication that did not play nice with my RAD system. Orencia. Sorry to see you go after only 4 injections. I say, "sorry", because the injection itself was an easy sub q and could be done at home. Basically the Orencia, caused a horrible cough, immediately after injection. we tried " one more time. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
