So you've been tried on anti-TNFs (Enbrel & Humira), and one that targets IL-6 (Tocilizumab). So basically I imagine that they'll consider one that targets T cells, like abatacept, or B cell inhibitor like Rituximab. RA is a weird disease in that different people respond very differently, and what works for one person won't work for another. So just because the drugs you've tried so far haven't worked doesn't mean that none will. Hopefully something that works on a different part of the process will work marvels for you, so don't give up hope. Good luck. Polly

Thanks for your answer. I have heard of Rituximub. I'll know more next week as I have to see my Rhumatoligist then. Thanks for the encouragement.
