Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 OK, Althea, I'll not only hold you to it, I'll move the date up for you! Please call your physician right now or tomorrow. Don't wait until Monday. Let him decide whether this is anything to worry about. You shouldn't take the chance while you are on Remicade. Trust me, Remicade and infections don't mix. I'll tell you where to go!
