Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi Everyone...Happy NEW Year to everyone...I hope it has been a good year so far for you.I don't read or post because my computer does not co-operate often. Since having pneumonia in Nov and having to go 9 weeks without Remicade I am not responding as well to it now. My memory is very bad; my right eye still had inflamaion and I am producing almost no tears and I look like ...will like H***. Rheumatolist says my knees are shot and the plantar faschtis has returned so I am hobbling along, but Hey I am hobbling along... Tracie I noticed on one of the post I did get that your Remicade dose is 7mg/kg. I am hoping to go up to 5mg/kg this month and dc the pred. I'd rather have the sympotoms that the side effect..even though I only take 5 mg of pred. I am taking the Remicade mostly for my eye problems yet I can't get it back under control. I use pred drops and drops for the glacoma as well as artifical tears and jell at night but thing just are not getting better. I have tried to look for doseage of Remicade for Iritis to take to my dr to back up my asking for the increase but haven't found anything. I know you are busy but do you have any suggestion? My Rheumatologis says I can continue on the treatment every 28 days bcause it is all expermental. Has anyone else had the ongoing iritis? Has anyone heard from Kim? I haven't heard from her in several weeks. Does anyone know if she is in Ohio yet? I pray for you all everyday... Hugs Ruth > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
