I'm not sure if this is of any real relevance, but I just wanted to say that after 4 years of Ritiumab infusions, I have now had such severe reactions to it, that I am unable to have anymore. After my last infusion, my lungs collapsed and became very inflammed - so my doctors have withdrawn it's use as a result.
So, now, I can't tolerate ANY meds apart from pred.
The plan is, if I have a flare up, that I go back to the good old days of plasma exchange.
Just wanted to let you know of the Ritix reaction, as the symptoms I experienced 48 hours post infusion were:
Chest Pain
Shortness of Breath
High Temp
Best wishes to you all, Gwen x
