I have been on Rituximab since 2011 which brings my flares under control after a few months but now my immobility is really hindering me.

The rhemy clinical nurse told me that, on average, Rituximab (Rixathon in my case) takes 2 to 3 times to have an effect!! 😭 I then had to return to work...shoulder so painful, stonking headache and feeling wiped out. However, I do feel I was listened to today.

On Friday just gone they started him on rituximab and antibiotics for the fever. His platelets still at 1 yesterday- obviously I know it’s not going to work overnight. He said he feels ok, no more bleeding either. I’m just scared and worried every moment of the day and don’t know what to think.

I'm pretty established with my GP and rheumatology team and have never been refused for funding for my meds (Metoject, biologics - currently Rituximab) and I'm worried whether I'll get worse service. Do any of you lovely people on here live in that county?

I know that rituximab can take up to 6 weeks to start working but I find it strange that it improved and then gone backwards and it has been 6 weeks since my first infusion Has anyone else experienced this?
