Hi Doreen, March 21,2008 then May 2, 2008 I recieved rituxin. I will try to make it brief. First I took two tyelnol waited 30 minutes, benadryl, steriods in the i.v. then the rituxin. I was very nervous doing this infusion but I am hoping it will work. The first dose I had felt pretty good with alot of swelling decreased in my hands, and i was able to move around so much better. I was told that it is the steriods that gave me the relief. I found out that it actually can take a few weeks to 10 weeks to have a lasting affect.
