Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hi group, I had my first Remicade treatment today. I sure hope this works. The whole experience was quite interesting. They put me this room with six other people who were also being infused. We all I sat in huge lounging chairs, there were hooks on the wall where they hung the medicine that they were giving us. I was the new kid on the block, so I had to tell my story. It took about two hours. I brought books which I never got to read because I being interview my by fellow remy patients. It all went without a hitch. The other topic of discussion was Janet s boob. Im not sure what to expect. I really just want some relief. I do feel a little restless and I have a sore throat. Im interested in what anybody can tell me about there experience with Remicade. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hi Rhonda, It sounds like the infusion went well - I hope you enjoyed the time chatting with other RA patients. That's the thing I miss about Remicade - the opportunity to just sit and chat with others who are challenged with the same disease! Everyone's experience with the drug is different, so it's hard to know exactly what to expect. Some feel better right away, and others not until after the 3rd infusion. Watch that sore throat though - the Remicade probably isn't the cause, but since it lowers your immune system you need to watch out for infection. If you think you're having any side effects, be sure to call your doc and they'll give you advice. Hope all goes well for you! Beth > Hi group, > > I had my first Remicade treatment today.
