Hello Tristram,
I had some nerve damage in my right shoulder after getting Rituximab with the usual Cladribine. That was Nov, 22 2021, I was in the hospital for a high fever. On the 3-4th day I woke up not being able to use both shoulders. The left came back 1-2 days later. The neurologist told me I had about 2 inches of nerve damage. After a year I now have about 75-80 % recovery.
Good luck with your troubles.

Thanks for the note. As a three-time survivor of GBS which attacks the nerves, I'm more worried about nerve damage than others might be.

Did the doctors adjust the medications so the problem didn't continue? I'm wondering to what extent modifications can be made during treatments.
