I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but I'm starting to see my ankles again under all the swelling/inflammation that's been covering them for months now. And the improvement suspiciously coincided with my first Rituxan infusion. I can't believe that anything would happen that quickly from it, but it seems to be a good sign in any case.
Hopefully they keep going down because there still is some swelling and my shoes are too tight. I've been wearing stretchy sandals up til now, but the weather's getting chillier and I really need to start wearing shoes.
Suzanne that is great and I hope it continues for you! This is wonderful Monday news!
Ankles are a GOOD thing.
Congrats!

Hi, I hope it is the medication helping you! Ankles are a major prob. with this dang disease. I'm trusting Remicade/methotrexate....finally. It is good news when the meds work! thanks for sharing, LyndaThat is awesome.
Maybe I should switch to Rituxan as my belly stays swollen.
But I am pretty excited about the ankles!
