Yes, my rapid heartbeat got worse when I started on Prednisone, plus I just

had to start on cholesterol meds and my doc said Prednisone can make it

higher. Of course, I was unable to walk without Prednisone.

I started the cholesterol med last Friday evening and the anti-thyroid

Saturday morning. I had my Remicade infusion Wednesday. When she started it and

again when she raised the rate, I felt a flushing through my body, similar

to what you feel when they are doing a CT and the inject contrast . That

was the first time for that reaction. She took a longer time to do the

infusion, which was all right with me.

The last two days I've had a terrible stiffness in the back of my right

leg, so that I can't really bend my knee. I'm going to do a trial soon to see

if it's the side effect of myalgia which can happen with Zocor. Or maybe

she can give me an additional drug to counteract the side-effects of the drug

that was given to me for a side effect.
