    Hi i am not on rituxamab but when i was in hospital having my MTX injections there was a lady having a infusion of rituxamab.We were talking and i asked her about it because they were thinking of puting me on it she was very posativ and said since she had been on it she felt fine i think she had had been on it for quite a while.I have read up on it and it seems that people respond very well .I think when you go in to hospital for your infusion they keep an eye on your blood pressure to make sure it stays ok good luck and keep us posted on how you get on it will be intresting to no.
