Do Any Of You Have Another Auto Immune Disease Besides RA? & Have You Taken Rituxan?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Fresno, CA

I was DX'd in 2007 with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia a rare form of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and treated with Rituxan which I understand is also used to treat RA I have been in remission since 2007 but will probably need treatment again within the year.

I ssuffer from scleroderma and it has affected my fingers with calcium deposits under the finger nails. It is extremely painful and I use local anaesthetic cream to numb the pain

I have several autoimmune conditions. This one is late to the party. Most members of my family on both sides have at least one with me being the only one with multiple. I hit the genetic jackpot. LOL
