Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 STacey and Carol, I have been in a study for remicade since 5/13 . I could be getting 3mg dose or 10mg dose or placebo. I thought maybe I was getting placebo but the nurse thinks I am on at least the 3mg one cos she says she sees some changes...I am tired after I have an infusion and I have been getting swelling in my legs and feet and ankles ....it hardly goes during the night before I am up again and they start puffing up .....I take Lasix and other drugs for my BP ...I drink lots of water and lay off the salt almost totally.....so it could be I am getting the real thing in remicade .... Just thought it was interesting......Judy in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Hi Stacey, I hope all is well with you. I have noticed that my calves and feet are swelling, and I remembered that you are having the same problem. You had that before the Remicade, right? I thought I noticed my calves swelling more after my infusion. I also have wondered if it had to do with the MTX. What have your Dr's decided about it? I'm hoping mine will pass soon, but it certainly feels uncomfortable. Sending love and hugs, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
