Hi I am a 21y/o female with SLE.
Had my first rituximab infusion on Tuesday, have felt quite ill achey and tired ever since. Is this normal ? Has anyone else on here has rituximab and seen benefits?

I had this treatment back in march when my count dropped to 7, I felt exactly the same but only the day after my treatment. I had 4 sessions in total and since I've been in hydroxychloriquine and methotrexate my count has been around 170ish. If you feel really bad I'd call your rheumatologist or even the ward when you had your rituximab and speak to the nurses
