Hello Friends,

Is there anybody with experience with this new drug?Here in Holland it is quite new.The side effects I seem to notice are extreemly heavy legs and very painfull muscles if I do anything too much.I did not experience that earlier ,either from the RA or from the Pretnison injections.It is very difficult to figger out what is TOO much...I got 4 wonderfull years on Enbrel,but my body got used to it and since then the RA is very bad.The Rituximab treatment is given here twice in a forthnight,then you have to wait..I got my first treatment 5 weeks ago.How is this done in other countries?
