Good morning everyone! I am jennifer and I was diagnosed with severe RA in 2007. I have been on many treatments with little results. I am taking my second infusion of my first round of rituxan on Monday. Man, does this drug wipe you out?!? I am also experiencing migraine headaches everyday. Check out my bio for more info about me and my journey!!! Glad to b here.

I take Rituxan infusions! YES they totally wipe you out and I always get migraine after each infusion. I would usually end up missing 3-4 days of work! I started taking a Relpax before each infusion and it has helped tremendously! I still get headache but it seems to go away within a day now instead of a week! Good luck in your treatment!
