HI Colin,
sorry can't help you myself but a few peeps responded to my earlier questions about the biologicals.
I seem to thin Snowball might have taken rituximab ....... not certain though.
I'll keep looking and see who I can find who replied - if I can find the other thread.

Dear Colin
I bumped up a couple of old threads for you from this forum but I could not find too much about it on here.
I then googled rituximab forum and the first link has quite a few peeps talking about their experiences. Perhaps this may help you.
Thinking of you,
Love

Hiya Colin
I had my first dose of Rituximab in Dec 2008 and it has been the best treatment I have been on. It brought my inflammatory markers down to a level where they were barely readable and it has worked so well.
I know different people have different results on each treatment but for me it has been amazing and I would recommend anyone gives it a shot if they get the opportunity.
I am due to have a second dose in next month as the RA is starting to come back but I am looking forward to it as I know it works so well.
It took about 4 months until I started to notice a difference but after 2 months of starting the treatment my blood results were showing an improvement so that showed it was working.
I really hope that you get the best out of it and it works for you as well as it did for me

Thank you Webmanager
Thanks Janie Your drug enbrel is anti TFN not biological Rituximab is a biological drug that can be used on people that anti TNF fails
Elna thanks for that, i have done a fair bit of reading up on rituximab i was keen to talk with someone who had tried it.
Cheers
