every drug known to man

I have Ra and psoriasas and Psa and I have tried every drug there is . Right now I am on Methotrextrate and Rutuxian that you take twice a year. You need good insurance for it but so far it seems to be doing ok. Humaria worked for a while and Imbreal did no good at all. Pain pills don't work only make you a zombi. What I would really like to know is how to keep from getting sick all the time. If it is not a cold it is fatuge and something else. I am so sick of doctors and it just seems like such a horrible way to live your life. Any advice

Wash hands, and then wash them again. I understand last year I had a virus that put me in bed for 3 weeks. I'm fearful of this winter but I'm washing and hoping for a better year.

I still can't find meds to help me with the RA or pain.

Reading your comment about being sick all the time on the Ritaxin caught my attention. I will find out this next week if and when I start it and that is the part that scares me, on top of some of the other side effects. I was on Enbrel for 11 months and I was on antibiotics 11 times for continual sinus infections. The medication did what it should have, to the point to where I felt relief by the third shot, I was doing the twice weekly injections. I was estatic until the sinus infections started. Hopefully, Ritaxin will not do the same thing!

I will be going in for my very first Rituxin infusion 11/28... I'm petrified of the whole idea... Enbrel helped me at first, but I continued to slide down hill... I'm also on Methotrexate and planquile...
This whole ordeal is getting really old very quickly...
