Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 Hi All...had my Remicade infusion this afternoon. Told my MA that it pooped out at about 5 weeks. He said to call him right away if it does that again. I had a reaction today...first time and I hope last. I began feeling a crawling, itching sensation all over. I told Bruce, and he slowed the drip and gave me Claratin. After a few minutes it was still happening, he slowed the drip again. The itching stopped after about 30 minutes. Then I got really weak, and still feel that way now. Love, Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 Hi Tess, I'm sorry you had a reaction to the Remicade this time. When I went to my first infusion last week, they gave me 10 mg of Zyrtec and 2 tylenol before they started. The nurse said they do it with everyone, just in case. You may want to ask your MA about it next time. Much love and many hugs, Carol Hi All...had my Remicade infusion this afternoon. Told my MA that it pooped out at about 5 weeks.
