Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 11:59 PMSorry if I offended......it was actually just my way of making fun of how I felt. The Rituxan Infustions do make me feel woozy, tired and a little bit nauseous. I had a systemic reaction this last round and had to take 3 benedryl tablets along with a push of 250mg of solu-medrol (steriods). It was a type of chemical war fare in that the benedryl made me incredible sleepy but the steriod made me feel jittery.
I love the Rituxan.....I have been on Enbrel, Orencia, Methotrexate and Prednisone......Rituxan is a miracle!!!! I took a one hour Zumba class today at the YMCA (latin dancing) and felt great afterward!!!
I am a glass half full kinda girl and laughter helps me make it through the tough days.
Livin with it in Tulsa..... :) Kathy

There's more than one way of expressing better living through chemistry!
If you're stoned every time you get an infusion? When I get my Humira shot, I often feel a little woozy, blurry eyed and very relaxed, so I can imagine an infusion can multiply that effect. If you're concerned about it, speak to your doctor.
