WSHELTON Offline Posts: 2 Thank you received: 0	Hello All Had my first dose of a 4 week schedule of Rituximab and for 3 days I had Extreme pain from head to toe. Now 4 days out I'm weak and sore all over with headache. I'm afraid to continue with the next dose. Any feedback on your side effects and how you handled I would appreciate

Had a reaction 3/4 way through. Finally finished after a push of Benadryl and was sent home. Thursday I felt good. Was able to drive. Friday, I am dizzy, lightheaded, no energy, and emotional. Anyone else get delayed side effects? How long did they last? Thanks

My experience was different. I had several reactions during the first infusion, but got through it. That evening and the next, I ran a low-grade fever and felt flu-ish. The second infusion was much smoother, but I developed serum sickness afterward and never took the last two.

Each Rituxan experience is probably as unique as the person who undergoes it, and no one can predict what it will be. I hope you're feeling good by now and will have few problems going forward. Most of all, I wish you success from having done it!
