    I had my first Rituxan infusions in September 2022. I had the infusions on the 4 Tuesdays of the month. I experienced itchy skin and the rate was slowed considerably. i had no other side effects at that time.

    My 2nd round of Rituxan infusions are being given this month on Tuesdays again. My 1st infusion went fine. No side effects. My next infusion I received a syringe of Benadryl just like i always do. I immediately got very sleepy and slept soundly in the chair for nearly 3 hours. What was most troubling was that night I couldn’t fall asleep until 5 am. Yesterdays infusion I wasn’t affected by Benadryl yet I was only able to sleep a few hours last night.

    I also experience more fatigue than normal as well as cheers.
