Experiences with

Rituximab

has anybody experienced flue like symptoms or fevers on Rituximab? Or chronic sinusitis?

I've been on Rituximab successfully for several years now. But since learning that Rituximab reduces the impact of covid vaccinations, my rheumatologist is understandably slow to prescribe the next infusion.

Hallo, is anyone out there on Rituximab, or know how successful or not. I’m currently on Methotrexate 25 strength and am concerned Thanks Liz 💕

This is to all my fellow immune suppressed folks about rituximab. I've been unable to find solid information, and my consultants aren't sure, so wondered if anyone here knows. Does rituximab impact our tetanus jabs and similar?

Hi all you lovely people who responded to my question re Rituximab, well I have just returned from the hospital and am unable to report how I got on as they didn’t do it !!

Hi everyone, on Wednesday I have my first Rituximab infusion, not sure what to expect, how my body is likely to respond, so any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

I’m due to have another infusion of Rituximab and May. I just had covid and I was ok. I know after Rituximab I will end up with no antibodies. Does anyone know if they are given Evusheld injections in Uk after Rituximab infusion? My consultant didn’t know to much about it when I last saw him.

Has anyone received an injection of iloprost and rituximab? After it is received, is there any improvement noticed? Also does insurance cover these 2 medicine?

Has anyone on Rituximab had Covid and if so how did it go for you?

I asked the Rheumatologist hosting the event about how does rituximab affect memory B cells and will my body produce antibodies in the case of a Covid infection.

I am immunosuppressed after treatment with rituximab and cannot produce antibodies against COVID. I would like to fly home to visit family. Have any of you travelled whilst still immunosuppressed? Has anyone ever caught COVID abroad? What did you do?

Has anyone who is on rituximab had covid. Have just had first infusion of this cycle and am worried about getting covid at work as so many people have it.

Can I ask if anyone gets really sleepy when the Rituximab is due? My partner is having his next week and for the past couple of weeks he’s slept most of the day. Just wondering if it’s to do with this. Thanks for taking the time to read this x

Puffy hands and feet after rituximab infusion, any one else had this?

Since ocrevus is not available in this part of the world, the next best drug recommended was rituximab. What is your opinion? I am hesitant , since a recent course (three injections) of steroids(solumedrol)did nothing to improve my condition.

The serological response was achieved in 0% of Rituximab treated, 18% of Ibrutinib treated and 50% of untreated CLL patients.

Last rituximab infusion was 6/22 (two total). Question: Should discontinuing methotrexate be considered at this point? It has been 2 weeks since the last dose. It did not reduce joint/muscle pain at all and was ineffective in reducing "bad levels" in labs after 7 months (these levels increased).

Rhemuy wants to stop orencia and start rituximab. I'm wondering if you guys can talk about your experience with the Rituximab.I know everyone's experiences are different on different biologics. I'm also wondering why I wasn't tried on Imuran. I'm seronegative RA.

Anyone had Rituximab infusion? M having my first one on Monday as m worried and nervous Has it would for u ?

They have a high suspicion of myositis as well as scleroderma, they have recommended rituximab with reduced Mycophenelate. Anyone have any positive feedback about muscle aches/weakness, ILD and this medication combo. Always in need of hope x
