Hi Phil sorry to hear of your flare up. Glad you have an appointment tomorrow. I've had six retuximab infusions, the first three lasted 7-8 months, then increased to a year. You can usually start to feel the fatigue returning and generally slowing up. I sometimes start naproxen inbetween infusions as I've found I have to wait to be allocated a chair in the day case unit.
Hope you get sorted tomorrow, and have a pain free day as much as possible today. Don't overdo it.
Thanks sunnyweek, you are quite right the fatigue/tiredness seems daily yet unable to sleep at nightime usually have to come downstairs and try to sleep on setee, I will try Naproxen at least in the short term and hopefully i will get a second infusion soon.
