Rituximab and flare ups

[Phoo2]

Hello I have just had my second infusion infusion and am just recovering from an awful flare up in my arm that lasted a whole week ( whilst I was on holiday ! ☹️).

I noticed I had a similar flare up exactly a week after my first infusion. Has this happened to anyone else?

It totally wiped me out for the whole month of February. Would love to hear other people’s experiences of the drug- does the ra improve after these flares? I really hope so !!!!!
