Reaction to Truxima

Had to be off treatment of Truxima for 4 months as having hip replacement. Due second infusion in a few days but still feeling ropey from first one a fortnight ago. I had forgotten that I seem to get flu like symptoms with aching muscles, constant headache and general yuckiness. The steroid positive effect only lasted about 5 days and the yuckiness kicked in. Anyone else had this?
