Question Rituxan?
Has anyone had any experience with Rituxan and how long it takes to kick in. I had my 4th final infusion a month ago. I have been fighting off something the past week or perhaps side effects from the Rituxan? When did it kick in? Did you experience any later side effects? When did it kick in?

Thanks

I use rituxan for polymyositis. The first time I had flu 1 month later. Have not had a flu since. I have not had any adverse reactions. I have had it 1 - 2 times a year for 7 years. Good luck.

I had it in December and it still has a positive influence although not as great as at first. I actually had good results within a few days of the first infusion, and even better after the second one.

How long did it take you to recover from the flu? I was sick all week last week. Bodies just starting to get over it I think. Could of possibly been from the Rituxan then. Lots of stomach churning and nausea last week. On and off dizziness now. I know we are all different with the results. Ive heard 2-3 months before full benefits. Waiting is so hard. And I read that side effects can happen anytime even months later so its a waiting game.
