"I've been having rituximab infusions for 11 years. I have one infusion (1 g) usually every 7 months, which is a half dose, as most people in the UK have two (2 weeks apart). Works very well for me - no side effects. The only problem I have is when it's delayed because a rheumatologist says I have to wait longer between infusions, then I get pain, swelling, deformities, etc."

"After each of my rituxan infusion, I feel nauseated, extremely tired, and have a headache for anywhere from 5 days to a week. Is that normal? Works great for RA, though, so definitely worth it!"

"Rituxan has worked well for me. It worked where TNF drugs failed. No flares in my joints and no sign of additional damage to my corneas. This is as close to remission as I have been in 21 years of RA."
