RA doctors recommending to start on Remicade

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I read all the messages, but don't really write in. I really like

the feed backs, it helps to hear what you are experiencing from the

different medication, or not.

I have been on prednisone, plaquinelle and sulfasalazine, from

the beginning that I was diagnosed with RA. My RA doctor

originally found nodules on my lung, so she does not recommend, metrotrexate.

Now, I'm experiencing stiffness in my left wrist, ( I've had 3

cortisone shots since the beginning of this year, and no change.)

I also had an x-ray, which shows that.

She originally recommended Humaria, but, someone I knew, had really

bad side affects. Now she is recommending Remicade. She has given

me the Medication Guide for Remicade, I have read it, and reread

it. My concerns of the all the side effects. Can any out there,

please let me know what your experience have been.

Sincerely,

Elena
