Rheumatoid Arthritis
"Had 1st infusion of rituximab &amp; experienced tingling in &amp; around mouth, white of eyes turned blood red. Later that day I had palpitations &amp; shortness of breath. The next morning I had nausea &amp; severe headaches. By lunchtime I was so cold I was shivering, despite hot water bottles and going to bed did not get warm until the early hours of the next day, then I started with a temperature.  Have rheumatoid arthritis affecting most joints, the joint pain increased further. Its been 3 weeks since my 1st infusion, my gut instinct is not to have the 2nd, I&#039;m still enduring the side effects daily however not as severe as at 1st."
