Anyone used Rutuxin?

Has anyone received Rutuxin foe arthritis symptoms? My joint pain had
become very difficult to manage and after the FDA approved the use of
Rutuxin my Rhuemie started this therapy on me. The joint pain has
diminished dramatically but I am concerned about side effects.

About two weeks after the first infusion, I began to experience
frequent episodes of dizziness, light-headedness, I feel like I am
going to pass out after I stagger. I have been able to just hold on to
something until it passes but I am concerned. Any input is
appreciated.

I am looking forward learning more from you all. FInding this group on
Lupus is new for me.
I have been diagnosed for over ten (10) years now and have managed to
keep working with the help and cre of my Rhuemie. We have been
unsuccessful in ever getting off the predisone. Every time we below 6
mg I experience a full flare - yuck!
