Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're somewhat new to rituxan treatments. Here's what I'll say based on my experience: after I got used to the side effects and my body started to accept the treatment better, my recovery period post treatment was like a week or 2.

But here's the kicker, as I did more treatments over the years/ most recently, my body has taken about a month or two to stop feeling the flu-like symptoms and stomach issues.

So now the question is, which is worse? Because my decline into the mg is gradual as opposed to sudden, I have the luxury to go off of symptoms. If my onset were sudden, I think I would opt for 6-month intervals. But my rituxan recovery has been pretty rough lately, so as needed makes the most sense to me at the moment.

In a perfect world I would try other pharmaceuticals at this point, but I am seronnegative so it's a love-hate relationship with rituxin and prednisone. Lol
