Default Rituximab experience

Hi everyone.
Been advised to take Rituximab and hoping someone can answer my questions from experience:
a) How long before it kicks in, i.e. weeks or months?
b) As I am unable to take steroids or steroid sparing drugs, how do I get stable before hand, as IVIG is being refused on cost/supply grounds (UK)?
c) How great is risk of infection and for how long?

Many thanks.
Magister
