Rituxan? Week after?

6 Replies

Hey all. Anyone else do Rituxan infusions? How are you the week after? I feel like I hit a wall the week after. I just feel a bit “off”. I always worry about getting sick post-infusion so I am probably exhausting myself with the worry. Haha. I am 2 years in so, would love to hear from some vets who have be at this a while

Love to hear any thoughts or tips. Ocrevus would probably be in same category. (But I don’t want to assume).

I always feel great after my Rituxan infusion. I've been on Rituxan since December of 2015. Don't worry to much. Worrying to much causes stress and stress is not good for this disease. I hope you feel better. ♥️🌹

I've been on Rituxan for probably 5 years. I've never had a problem.

Just out of curiosity, did you all feel fine from the first infusion or did it take some time? Each one seems a bit easier to me. Maybe the body adjusts?

I always felt fine... I relax for the rest of the day, maybe read or watch tv.

I hit the wall a week after this last dose too. 2 weeks since 4th infusion (or 2nd round) and I'm wondering if I'm ever going to feel better this time. Nothing in particular, except extreme fatigue and some weakness. Grr.

I’m so sorry to hear that latellama. Hope that you find a way to get back on track. I’m trying a few new things this time around. This is the first infusion I have had without steroids. Also, doing some acupuncture this week. Trying what I can to move forward.
