Done and dusted. Talked to nurse about insomnia and it can be connected to Abatacept , told her re bowel / chicken and she said it definitely will have been the infusion, so see how this one goes! But they have booked me in for steroid before Gladto!!

So dinner at mine y'all now ?

Always an anxious time on a new med but hope it is going to work great for you. Can't tell what is Rituxi or steroid shots, as yet for me but suspect more steroid injections than Rituxi as that is a slower worker but hope by my review in July it is working. xx

Hi Alannah, glad all went well. Was wondering why I am having trouble sleeping - it must have been the infusions. Not had any other problems since except hands still very stiff and joints very sore. Seeing Rheumy in 2 weeks time so will mention if to him if the Rixie hasn't kicked in by then. The steroids infused in haven't worked at all!

Love LavendarLady x

Oh no LL I was hoping the steroids would have helped you. I'm on Orencia and it's apparently one of the 1 in so many thousAnd people get insomnia so not too common he said. Xx
