Re: rituximab wearing off?

[Guest guest]

Hi Lexi,

 

I have been on Rituxzan infusions over a year. I believe this treatment has been

a GOD sent for me. I have had no side effects and in the beginning it does take

a while to see the improvements. I have this treatment done every six months 2

treatments 2 weeks apart. I have notice lately that my body does notice when

it's time for my next treatment. Have faith and patience and all will work for

you.

hello everyone, I hardly ever post, but since starting rituxan, I'm having so

many questions that have come up, i don't know what else to do so i'm hoping you

all can help. After a terrible time with the first set of infusions, I ended up

feeling absolutely fantastic for about 6 weeks, now i'm gradually feeling more

sore and tired. My doctor said the soonest it could be given is at 6 mos. I

finished my infusions 8 weks ago. is it possible that it's wearing off already?

Has anyone else had this happen. I did get a dose of cortisone with it but i've

had it before and never had that much improvement for that long. i'm not sure

whether to contact my doc or not, my follow up isn't til november, but my feet

really hurt this week.

thanks,

lexi
