Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hello, I also have recently started Remicade after I failed Simponi (or it failed me). I got so bad I got out of bed and could not walk or move my hands. Remicade worked within 48 hours. However, by one week, I was ramping up pain again. I happened to see the doc and he started me on methotrexate injections, weekly. I take .4 mls. I had been on Immuran but it made me very sick. Be sure you try it on a day you will be off as I spent the rest of the day quite nauseted. This does not happen for everyone. I have had two infusions of Remicade. I go for the third four weeks after the last and I pray my RA does not flare up. I hate methotrexate, I get slightly queasy the next day or so but the pain I experienced totally freaked me out. I work full time as a nurse manager about 50 plus hours a week so being functional is critical. Good luck, and I hope the Remicade works for you.
