Thankyou for your reply ,also i have had problems with my throat, i have had to have my uvula removed as i had a lump and swelling on uvula and throat,but rhuematology say it is not connected to rituximab all they want to do is keep giving the infusions ,and like i said i have refused,does anybody know if this could be caused by rituximab.thankyou John

Blurred vision and vision changes are serous side effects of rituximab, which I think should warrant stopping rituximab therapy. Please see the link below under severe side effects.
