hearing loss

I've looked it up and apparently, it's a rare effect of MS only 6%. And doctors prefer to say that is probably caused by another factor.

Feeling better or worse after infusions?

<p>Hi,</p> <p>I just had my latest infusion of Rituxan (after a COVID delay), and I always feel terrible afterward, but I’ve heard people say they feel better after treatment. Is this a case of “no two the same,” because of different DMTs, a combo? Just curious as I sit here in my post-infusion blah...</p>
