1st round of treatment over

The first round of Rituxan treatment is over (two weeks ago). The days of treatment were fine really. The first time I had a headache and my blood pressure dropped pretty low...other than that I slept the treatment away. The 2nd infusion I had a headache, some low blood pressure and that's about it. Now, I'm fatigued, my muscles ache and my CPK levels are still elevated. *sigh* Maybe it just needs more time to work.

I'm still having trouble getting a physician to prescribe my pain medications. I ran out about 1 1/2 weeks ago ...both pain meds. I'm tired of being in pain all the time. This is miserable.

Rituxan

The drug manufacturer has agreed to donate Rituxan for a year. So, as soon as it is delivered I will start that treatment.
