Rituxan IV Infusion * My Rituxan Experience * Side Effects * Chronic Illness

You are such a brave lady, wish we lived closer, we would be great friends. I would love to spend the day with you, and just crochet the day away. wow your doctor is amazing to help you that way, I'll be praying this treatment works for you.

So wonderful that your doctor got you approved to take this infusion ❤

I'm praying that this works for you as well as it did for me. My lupus shut down my kidneys, messed with my heart, my lungs, and caused terrible weakness and fatigue. Im sure you're familiar with all of these things. The day after infusion I would experience lots of fatigue, but other than that, it was ok. My last infusion, unbeknownst to me, had not been approved by insurance and I ended up paying $52,000.00 out of pocket! Its ridiculous how expensive these necessary treatments are. Fortunately im now on regular doses of methotrexate which is managing my immune suppression nicely. My best wishes and tons of prayers for success with this treatment.

I dont crochet..I watch you Kayla, because you give me courage to handle the health stuff I am going through. Thank you and God bless you, Big Daddy and your family.💟

Even though you are in pain you still can laugh as you tell us about your experience. You are an inspiration. I pray that these infusions will help you and the side effects will ease up. 💜🙏🏻

Your smile through all your suffering is amazing and inspiring! Praying for a miracle! Thank you for sharing!

Praying you feel better tonight and in the days to come. You are amazing and an inspiration. God Bless you and Big Daddy.

Hi Miss Kayla, Big Daddy, Dakota, Elijah, fellow crocheters and watchers ❤ hugs and prayers Miss Kayla

You are such an inspiration. I am so sorry for everything you go through, but you are always so upbeat, smiling and even laughing through everything. Thank you for sharing with us. You are in my prayers.

Hi dear Kayla!! It really is so caring of you to come on and explain the infusion to some people who may need it also. I am in total shock….42,000 for one infusion!😮 Thank God that your doctor was able to do what she did ❤ As you were explaining everything step by step, it took me back…. Back to when I had to have chemotherapy. The process was almost exactly the same. You have to finish this bag before you get the next bag. Then we’ll give you your medication. Then you have to have another bag of fluids before you go. I want to tell you that you are one strong lady ❤ You hang in there because I know this is going to work for you 🙏🏻❤️

Wow! At $42,000 that drug better be a miracle. Man that’s Big Pharma for you, just glad the company is helping you with this. Hope you get feeling better soon. I’m double praying for you! You are an excellent spokesperson. You take care sweet lady ❤️🤗🙏🙏

Bless you each hr going forward 🙏. Oh my goodness, just when you think it can't get worse, it does. May God give you every ounce of strength, courage and comfort as these treatments progress and become necessary!

I'm scheduled for my Rutuxan infusion this morning and then another one in 2 weeks. I'm keeping you and Big Daddy in prayer, Kayla! 🥰

I do hope the infusion will do wonders to your ailment. With all the side effects this infusion has, you still look beautiful, Kayla.😊 Praying for you and Big Daddy.

It makes sense that you hurt that bad after you were sleeping all extra relaxed from the Benadryl. I've been there and just been so relaxed from muscle relaxers for instance. And the doctor told me that it's because when you're in pain all the time you carry your muscles in a stress mode of tension and when you relax that much that your body's not used to being that relaxed you ache for real.❤❤❤❤😊

I wish you all the best and hope this new drug works. I have 32:13 of 2 drugs every 3 weeks for breast cancer. Sometimes, I have body aches but mostly fatigue. Some days are worse than others. God has blessed me, so far I'm OK, not always great but OK. I'm one lucky gal.

I am so glad your doctor was able to go directly to the insurance company for the drug. The cost is so outrageous! I hope it helps you. I went thru chemo a couple of years back so I know what you went thru. By the time they do all the preliminary stuff and then the infusion, it is an Al day affair! I had a seizure during my first chemo treatment. Not a great way to start my treatment! I also had the muscle aches in my legs after my first chemo so I know what you mean about the pain. They ended up changing my drug cocktail after that. I still had the muscle aches but not as bad. It took me a few days to recover after each treatment. Ugh! I currently have stage 4 metastatic kidney cancer in my lungs and my treatment will be immunotherapy. Not looking forward to that as I have read about the side effects. Stay strong, Kayla. I really hope you get some good results after going thru all of this. You really are amazing and very inspirational. ❤️

God bless you Kayla. I am praying for you to get relief and rest. You and your hubby are in my prayers.❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

You are a very strong and brave woman. You have been thru so much, yet you smile thru it all. Not everyone can do that. Also your crochet patterns are all just beautiful. I will keep you in my prayers.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Prayers and thank God that you have that doctor in your life to help with the pain. Continued prayers and blessings to you all this Thanksgiving week. 🦜
