Im 39 and have RA and was on humira for 10yrs and it worked beautiful until I developed tumors all over my body which turned out to be noncancerous lymphoma, Praise God!!! SO , I cannot take embril, remicaid, humira because they all contain something that gives me those tumors. So Rituxan is basically my last alternative, my disease is pretty bad, I find rituxan dont really work me, it helps but im still pretty bad.(it also helped shrink the tumors)- I get my infusion every 4 months. In the beginning I used to get hives a day or 2 after my infusion, doctor prescribed predisone and it went away fast, and eventually I stopped getting the hives all together. Also I noticed everytime I get my infusion my arms and legs get really tingly and numb... today my face is numb too in particular my nose... feels so weird... has anybody else experience anything like this?
Anyone on Rituxan experience numbness right after the infusion?
