I talked to my doc a couple of hours ago, and I'll be making the leap to Rituxan! I've been on mtx for 5.5 months, 20mg pred, and we recently added Imuran, because we can't get the pred below 20mg without the wheels falling off! The Imuran was giving me horrible stomach upset.....crazy gassiness (NOT ATTRACTIVE!!)

I'm excited, and little nervous. I guess mostly I'm worried about side effects, but I haven't really heard of many from this group (aside from Sangye......and it sounds like hers is a very unusual case).

Aside from infusion reaction, and the possibility of infections, and do I have anything else to worry about?
