Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 I think I have become a Remicade Junkie. This is the third time in 18 months that my infusion date has been boggled by my Rhemy's office staff and my PPO. Authorization delay they say, each ascribing the delay to the other. However, the delay has given me the opportunity to discover just how addicted I have become to Remicade. A few days prior to my infusion date, the efficacy of Remicade begins to subside and the RA pain and discomfort returns. I need a fix. It has now been 4 days since my scheduled infusion, the longest I have gone past my scheduled date, and I feel I am on the verge of a flare. The pain has really gotten worse and even depression has set in. I find myself in a constant state of anxiety, unable to concentrate, and short tempered. Oh yes and playing old Velvet Underground tapes too! I really " need " that infusion! I know everthing will be all right when the fluid begins to flow into my veins. Yes, I Remicade Junkie ($7,438 a fix) at the mercy of forms, authorizations, and the Company. I know I am not alone! Regards, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
