I’m due to have my first Rituximab infusion in a few weeks, I got diagnosed with anti CCP Rheumatoid Arthritis 3 years ago and have yet to find the right treatment. Does anyone have any experience of this drug and how it made you feel? I’m ever hopeful this will be the one.

Wondering if anyone has experienced this? I’ve been in Pradaxa for about 5-6 weeks and a recent blood panel showed strong markers for RA. No previous symptoms, etc. Just seems to coincide with taking Pradaxa.
