Rituximab and Covid Infections
Hello
I am interested to hear peoples thoughts and opinions on having covid whilst on Rituximab?
How have you coped?
My consultant has suggested that speaking to people who take Rituximab and experienced a covid infection may help me 'feel less worried'.
I am 38, have had Arthritis since I was a baby, have Rituximab every 6 months, small weekly dose of Methotrexate.
Many thanks
Lisa
