Default Had my 4th Rituxan...waiting now

Hi all. Tuesday May 13th I had my final Rituxan Infusion. I am still feeling weak. Especially upon waking lately. My last IVIG was April 12. After that I felt good but it has worn out and my neuro thinks...too short term...so here I am waiting for the Rituxan to kick in. How many of you that had Rituxan how long before improvement shows? Ive been told they've felt it after the 4th but 6 weeks to feel full benefits. I feel weaker now than when I first got the Infusion. Anyone else get Rituxan?

Thanks
lisa

I had it in December and I got good effects from it within a few days. I had two large infusions rather than 4 small ones. Rituxan was the only thing that cleared up my swallowing. Over the last month or so, though, my swallowing problem is coming back, but it has not gotten to the point it was before the rituxan yet.
It is not common to have effects that quick, but I felt the best about two weeks after the second infusion.
Hope you get good results, too.
