Remicade reaction

[Guest guest]

Hi Pat

The reaction was breathing related. I thought I was going to have

a heart attack. It kind'a felt like I was trying to breath out of a

strow, my chest hurt and I helt like I was on fire.

Today when I woke up my face is swollen and I look like I have

sunburn. But only on my face. Weird! As the morning goes on it seems

to be getting better.

I too am cold when getting the Remicade and usually bring a baby

blanket with me.

Thanks for the prays, they always help.

Has anyone taking Remicade developed a reaction to it after having

several treatments that went fine?
