Hey guys! My name is Tiffiny and I'm 21 years old. My arthritis is an incredibly difficult case. I am RF Neg, but still am within the 10 percent with RA. With this medications only work for a certain amount of time. I need help with figuring out new medications. I need to replace my Enbrel as I have now tried TNF, and they have stopped working (Remicade, and Enbrel) The doc wants to try to avoid stuff I have already been on (Hydroxychloroquin, Prednisone, Methotrexate, Remicade, Enbrel, Naproxen, Indomethacin, etc.) I am looking into Tocilizumab, and it looks great! Any info? as well as has anyone tried Rituximab without using Methotrexate in combination?

Sorry for the long post. please help! Running out of ideas!
