8.1
For Rheumatoid Arthritis: I had my first round 6 months ago sitting here starting my 2nd round as we speak. No side effects and even though my joints are still swollen I feel so much better. My dr is hopeful that this round will help with the inflammation. I'll get my 2nd dose with this round in 2 weeks!! I'm hopeful and thankful |
9.0
For Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: This is the best drug I've been on for cll I never upped it to 400. I stayed at 100 and it's done everything...I was at 464,000 on white blood cells when I started....it quickly brought me down to normal range like in 2 months....only side effect has been chronic UTI... |
