Bloating and Rituximab
I have a question for Hidden Since the first infusion of the
Rituximab
biosimilar I’ve noticed a big change in bowel habits, bloating in the area where my liver is & please look away if offended by talk of poo but I’m noticing pale stools plus floating of stools.

Worried Rituximab not working
On Nov 20th I stopped taking methotrexate due to starting
rituximab
. I have had 2
rituximab
infusions 2 weeks apart, last one on Dec 5th. My rheumy also lowered my prednisone from 15 mg to 10 mg after my first infusion than to 5mg after my second infusion.

Treatment
Chemo and
Rituximab
? What are the side effects and how long have you had it for ? I’ll be starting this at the end of January, I’ve read up on it all but just wanted to talk to someone.

Fever post chemo
I have developed a fever. Round 5 of FCR infusions was Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. My normal temp is 36.6 and Thursday evening it went up to 37.5 for the first time. Then on Friday it rose all day until it reached 38.12 (Anything over 38C (100.4 for USA) means you have to call it in, so I called

Rituximab Injections
See tomorrow's ( 16 December 2017) very interesting article on development of RTX injections that only need to be administered yearly.

What is your real ‘biological age’, and what does this mean for your health?
When it comes time for treatment, our options are strongly influenced by our age - or perhaps our relative level of fitness compared to others our age, rather than how many years we've lived, as this has a strong determining influence on whether we would do better on BR rather than FCR, for example.

FCR on Flair trial at Christie Hospital
Previously I had a single Akynzeo tablet before starting the
Rituximab
infusion and a supply of Metoclopramide to take if needed. I had a rash on my body after the first round, the Co- Trimoxazole anti-biotic tablets were replaced by Pentamidine 300 mg via nebuliser for rounds 2&3.

Loss of a great man
It is with a heavy heart I write this post. My father passed away on Thursday, Feb 8th. I brought him to the hospital on Monday as he had horrible pains in his ear and throat and was growing weak. His condition deteriorated with slight signs of pneumonia, ear infections and a loss of appetite, speech

Hypogonadism and vasculitis + Rituximab
I had my 12 weekly depo injection of testosterone today and have my second infusion of the biosimilar Texan I think it’s called. I had a very weird experience this afternoon where I was out of it & was even talking about stuff that wasn’t happening and the better half calls it rubbish talk. I did ask

Possible CNS involvement with ANCA Vasc
I'll be seeing him next week Thursday to start my first
Rituximab
infusion and then have the second infusion two weeks later. In the mean time, I continue on 40mg Prednisolone and 1g MMF a day. On the bright side, I'll be going home from uni tomorrow for Christmas.

Lost sense of smell and taste
Gone through all the usual treatments including prednisolone,
rituximab
, and cyclophosphamide of which I’ve had 16 infusions as my disease has proven very resistant. Somewhere along the way my sense of smell has gone.

Venetoclax Plus Rituximab Is Superior to Bendamustine Plus Rituximab (Murano Study)
Today on the ASH 2017 Meeting, the results of the Murano Study were published: https://ash.confex.com/ash/2017/webprogram/Paper109076.html I was one of the 389 participants in this trial and off course I am very happy with the conclusion, demonstrating that treatment with VR resulted in outcomes superior

Rituximab
The
Rituximab
saga began in 2004 when two oncologists noticed that
Rituximab
– a B-cell depleting drug often used in cancer – not only cured one of their patient’s cancer but eliminated their chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) as well.
