Update - Darlene's 2nd infusion

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Again, thanks to all those who sent well wishes and prayers for my infusion. It did

go pretty well........They gave me benedryl and something for my nausea and I got a bit

of a headache during the infusion, but it was tolerable. My nausea was lots better this

time so that is a relief. Hubby took me out to eat afterwards and then I dozed all the

way home and I have not been able to sleep at all tonight! I have been up since yesterday morning at 5:00 am. Last time, I pretty well slept for a couple of days, but

not this time. I do believe the Remicade is already helping with the joint pain and also

my breathing! Sure hope it continues. I go back for my 3rd infusion in a month and then they will try me for 8 weeks in between infusions......

Tracie -- or anyone else--- have you had problems with insomnia with the remicade??

Also, did you gain weight on it? One of the ladies taking it yesterday with me complained about gaining weight with it and I just wondered???

Anyway, I have high hopes with this drug.........and again, thanks to all for all their

helpl

Love,

Darlene
