Not on any other meds! Last one was 6th December and I was hoping to feel better.

Hi Maggie, i have been on rituximab for 2 years , it can take 12 weeks before you notice improvement , i also think you get more improvement after you have had several infusions. Feel better soon and have a Happy Christmas 🎄🤶🏻☃️
