Hi, i had a couple last year (2019) . They took around 6 months to kick in and the effects started to show in September last year. I was so pleased and happy in september as the results were fantantastic. I was told it could last a few months to a few years. I believe the effects are now starting to wear off and I have an appointment soon.

Sadly my infusions were part of a trial so, although they worked well for me albeit not for a huge length of time, i may not be able to get any more.

I don't remember experiencing any side effects. Good luck x

Happy new year to you, fellow pill boxer!

I had my first infusions of rituxan last month and have high hopes that it will control my swelling and random joint pain. I live in the U.S. and just received a bill for one of the two treatments-- almost $60,000! (£45800?) That's nearly 3X my annual wage. Thankfully, I have insurance that covers most of it.
