@loula How frightening for you! The pain did go away after a short time, though? Something similar happened to me when I was receiving rituxan for my autoimmune disease. The nurses sent me off to the ER and I checked out fine and it never happened again. The doctor said it was an infusion reaction—the drug was going in too fast.
We’re you monitored by the nurses during this time?
