Morning Peeps!
Thought I would share some good news (for a change :roll:). Now, two months after my second Rituximab infusion I am seeing definite signs that things are improving! I have reduced both my meth and my pred over the past few weeks and things are still better than they were so it HAS to be the Rituximab! It was odd because my joints began to feel better, quite suddenly, last week and I thought it was just a fluke but given that it was nearly a week ago, I am beginning to hope it will continue.
I know there are some others who are about to start Rituximab and some who have, like me, recently started, so thought I would share this.

Oh Tilly, that's brilliant! I'm so pleased for you.
I know how it goes - I feel a bit better/maybe it's just coincidence/no, I think it's real but daredn't believe it/maybe I could start to believe it a little bit/should I?/shouldn't I?/can't face the disappointment if it's just a blip/don't think it's a blip/think it's real/THINK IT'S REAL.
Well, that's how it goes for me. I am very, very chuffed.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Oh Tilly, that is wonderful news. I do hope things carry on improving for you. You must have been holding your breath all week hoping it was really true. Great that you have been able to reduce the other meds too, that is a big bonus.
Fantastic turnaround for you, I am so happy for you.
