Morning Peeps 🙂
I am having my first Rituximab infusion 24th May. I have high cholesterol and have booked an appointment for a phone consultation with my GP today. I think it's about time I went on statins to reduce my high cholesterol. We have discussed it before, some time back, but she was reluctant to put me on statins because it might increase the aches and pains I was already suffering from. So, back to Rituximab...is anybody on both Rituximab and statins? Which statin are you on? I also have the Metoject (20mg) and take sulfasalazine. They're my main ones...along with a concoction of other meds: omeprazole, vitamin D3, folic acid, calceous, ferrous sulphate and etoricoxib.
Oh, I'm seropositive RA and I'm flaring big time - high CRP & ESR.
