Rituximab

Recently started Rituximab in August after my body rejecting Amgevita which my rheumatologist said could have been for a few months. Just lost a lot of confidence with people saying I have lost weight and look awful. I have only been on it for about 6 weeks and I have noticed a big improvement but trying to make people understand that I really haven’t had medication for a long time so it would have taken a toll on my body just doesn’t seem to be understood. Just wondered if anyone else has had these issues. RA can obviously cause weight gain and weight loss depending on the person. I have had bloods checked for an overactive thyroid and all clear.
