I have antisynthetase syndrome and ILD. I’ve had the Rituxan infusion about a month ago. I was told it takes about 3 months to see any improvement from it.
I didn’t have any side effects from it. Takes several hours for the infusion. It’s done in two parts, a few weeks apart.
I bring something to do & lunch and snacks.

I have had the infusion in January. I was told you won’t see any improvement for at least 3 months.
Any improvement with this disease is slow. See my post below for additional comments.
