Guest guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 When I was first diagnosed 7 years ago, I was on remicaide and I loved it. I have never taken Humira, Enbrel, etc... I didn't have any side effects and I was able to tell the difference the next day. When I moved, my new rheumy didn't put me on it and I am going to get started back on it and I can't wait. It made the world of difference for me. Hope it does the same for you. nicole > > I'm going for my second infusion of Remacade -I was taking Enbril and > Methetrexate for 2 years with some help but my liver enzymes started > to elevate so now they are trying this.Anyone have have anything to > say about Remacade?

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hello! Welcome to the group! I'm Steph in Virginia. I have been on Remicade since April 2000 and it has been wonderful for me. I'm currently at home waiting for my Remicade as we speak. My HMO lets me get my Remicade at home with the help of a home health nurse. Take care, Steph in VA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 2008 Charlottesville Arthritis Walk was Sat.
