> Hi,

> I've been lurking for a few days.Reading all your support for each other has

been encouraging for me. I'm 61 and have been diagnosed with Auto Immune

RA,Chronic Urticaria Hives and Fybromyalgia. I think I've had these problems for

years, but no Dr. ever took me serious until the RA Dr. I found about 3 months

ago. Anyway, long story short, I just received my 1st Remicade treatment this

past Friday. I'm seeking info about your experiences that any of you have had

w/this drug. Good or bad, I would appreciate some info. Thank you for this

Hi clara,

I'm on remicade, when getting it I get burning at the infusion site and spiked

blood pressure, about a half hour after recieving it I get a upset stomach and

vomit. Other then that I get no other side effects through out the 8 weeks. I

am on a very low dose of 200mg IV ever 8 weeks at this point. I do have flare

ups in the middle of the 8 weeks, currently going through one now and going to

ask when I go back on the 16th of august to increase it by 100mg IV to see if

that helps.
