Had my eighth rituximab treatment last Friday and this is the first time I’ve had such a reaction just like you. Beginning to feel a bit better now after a week. Onward and upwards 😃

Hi Maggie, me too. It packs a punch…my symptoms are feeling like I have a ‘chemo hangover’, queasiness probably the worst part. I hate taking the cortosteroid after the 2nd day because it affects my sleep, and the nausea med constipates. Tylenol seems to help for the dull headaches. Acceptance seems to be my personal struggle…laying around the house for a week! 😆. Would love to know if your symptoms are similar, sorry to hear you have migraines, are you drinking tons of fluids (I seem to be inordinately thirsty, and heard we should be drinking electrolytes too). Positivity is key I know…we are in this together, we can DO THIS!! 😍
