tocilizumab (infuus) for rheumatism

got my first infusion last weeks and still no improvement, another dose in two weeks. I'm also taking methotrexate 10 mg per week and 15 mg prednisolone per day. Since I've been on this medicine I've had a warm ear on one side. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this? either way it's very odd for me. I've also noticed an increased feeling on pressure in my head and I'm sweating really easily.

tocilizumab (360) for rheumatism

Via infusion, every 5 weeks, certainly helps for the rheumatic inflammation and drastically lowers my crp levels. General condition enormously improved, I can walk well and use my hands but I am coughing a lot, often get colds and I'm susceptible to anything and everything that's going around.
