Treatment and Rituximab.

[june_jdr]

My day at the Rheumatology Day Unit didn't go well today, one hour in treatment and I began to feel unwell, had the shakes, became weak and started throwing up. Treatment was stopped and anti sickness meds given. Doctor was paged...my consultant on leave for another two weeks so not quite sure what will happen next. I am allergic to all oral meds...I did ok on rituximab last year but not this year...maybe its the stress of losing my mum this year...I don't know...will have to wait and see what my consultant suggest.

Hi June

I am so very sorry to hear that you have lost your mum, and you are feeling so unwell.

I am just in the middle of reading the 4th edition of the Sjogrens Handbook and they have mentioned Rituximab in it, it sounds as if it is a very heavy duty drug, I would like to wish you all the best and hope that you can get some sort of relief.Thinking of you, please let us know how you get on.

Take care

Cheryl
