Sorry if this is a dumb question does everyone know what this is? Is it anything? Does anyone get it?
its an iv injection and it is used for lymphoma and rheumatoid arthritis my dr. just mentioned it to me because i am allergic to embrel ,humira and remicade. its suppose to be really good in treating the arthritis good luck, what kind of arthritis is it?I found something on it, you're right I think you get one shot and it
knocks out your dodgy b cells or something then the b cells have to
populate again but this time they do so and they're healthy this
time. Are you getting it Debbie?
i dont know yet i go back on the 26 of sept. the only thing that scares me is that its another chemo drug again. god forbid down the line if i were to get cancer than what are my drug options but i will let you know he said the patients are doing very well with it its not like the other dmards, are you going to try it?God, my doc won't even believe I have RA yet but I think I probably
would try it. Listen I don't know how to post a hyperlink (I
know) but check out this info I found.
