Hi- has anyone received the Rituximab drip and what type of side effects have people been experiencing? I have had a cough for the last 4 weeks with sore swollen glands?

i lost a lot of weight after putting allot on when my steroid meds where a high dose never had any good benefits with ritux infusions at all but they say its different for each person

I was on it for two years when I had RA. It helped considerably, but then seemed to lose effect. I too always felt like I had the flu after a treatment for about 24 hours. I don't recall those side effects lingering beyond that.
