Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I have had 2 Rituximab Infusions for rheumatoid arthritis, the last one 2 1/2 months ago.  I sailed through the infusions with no problem but 3 or 4 days later I had extreme edema and burning pain of both lower legs, muscle pain all over my body, feel like I have the flu and some loss of coordination. I was on 40 mg Lasix for another problem and my Doctor increased it to 80 mg daily along with Zaroxyl, extra Potassium 4 weeks ago, and for the first time today, my legs are normal size. I&#039;ll probably discontinue the extra diuretics when I see my Doctor tomorrow. "
