Update. regarding Rituxan infusion and nurse !

I met with GP and Rheumy. GP was no help as he sees his role as redder and prescribe. I met with Rheumy and we came to an agreement. The offending nurse is never to come near me again. No more rushed fusions unless I decide I am ready to try. But as I said to her, I fail to see how I would benefit from rushing it.

I did offer to forget the entire thing if the nurse was willing to take a chair! I was not being flip. I simply wanted to put it in terms they would understand. These drugs have not provided any benefits therefor I have no need to continue. I would not be willing to see any other doctors.

So perhaps a part of me was hoping to stop injections. Not the injection but the way I feel following injections. I did agree to six months and I will tolerate it until my body says otherwise.

I do not want to fear my care giver. This solves everything. I no longer need to deal with her (nurse) and I also get to skip part two lol but still doing the needles💉
