I have been on Rituximab infusions for eighteen months and would love to hear from somebody else who has these, with or without Methotrexate. It would be good to compare side effects.

    I did take this drug for one treatment but it wasn't the drug for me. I don't remember any side effects other than being extremely tired for a few days after the infusion and a pounding head ache.

    Thanks. Even though you only had one treatment, it is interesting to hear someone else has experienced the tiredness and the bad headache.

    Is that anti-TNF. I have had three of those but had to come off for various reasons. Yes I think the tiredness of RA is one of the worst things as no one can 'see' that.
