Guest guest Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 Hi Carol, Yes, I seem to think that my swelling started before the Remicade, but I could be wrong. It was real close to the same time, within a few days or so. I really can't remember that well except that it was close. My swelling isn't really getting any better. The dr's think that it is venous insufficiency. Poor circulation, and they are blaming it on the prednisone. I am having a hard time accepting this dx because it more or less came overnight and I have never had a problem with circulation. Also because I have cut the dose of pred by at least half of the daily dose with no improvement. But they say that they have looked at everything else. My mom said last night that my whole body looks swollen, face, hands, belly, just everywhere. I certainly am uncomfortable. Don't know what else to do.
