I hope it works really well for you. I think taking things a bit easy is a good plan, just gentle exercise. Fingers crossed

Had my first Retuximab unfusion in December and still functioning well to date. Tiredness between first and second was an issue but improved after that. Still get 'off days' but this seems to be normal. Good luck.

Hi, I'm 10 months in on Tocilizumab- wonderful results, CRP in normal range, greatly reduced symptoms & swelling. I still take prednisone 7mg daily but see new life. I've had no ill effects or infusion reactions.. Good luck to you!
