Re: Remicade

Yes Tracie. Congratulations! I have been on Remicade for nearly a yearand am finally off all pain meds. Currently tapering prednisone downto 25 mg every other day, hoping Remicade will allow me to get offaltogether. My insurance company pays for it. They told me if a doctorprescribes it, they pay for it, period. They also said that it is amedication that is being used for more and more diseases all the time.The only problem so far is that my immune system is very suppressed. Ihad a bad flare-up of herpes simplex 1 in August which resulted indouble pneumonia which could have been caused by my suppressed immunesystem. It's always a trade-off. They might put me on an anti-viralduring high-stress periods (like an upcoming surgery) to preventanother recurrence of the virus.I hope you find as much success as I have had with Remicade. Best ofluck. -
