Members shared their varied experiences with Rituxan infusions after someone reported chills, congestion, and fatigue following their first treatment, with the original poster's nurse confirming it was likely a delayed reaction. Several members described similar side effects including extreme fatigue requiring extended sleep, loss of appetite, severe chills during infusion (which improved when slowed), and one member needing IV hydration after nearly passing out post-treatment. A recurring theme was the importance of immediately notifying medical teams about any concerning symptoms, with members expressing relief that adjustments like slower infusion rates or supportive care can make subsequent treatments more manageable.
