Remicade

[Guest guest]

I know there is at least one person on Remicade, but

for the life of me I can't remember who it is.

Imagine that!!

If you are on Remicade, or have tried it in the past

could you please get in touch with me. I have a few

questions and it would be nice to hear someone else's

personal experience.

Maybe I was expecting too much, but I feel that my

first infusion was a huge waste! Did you feel any

better after the first infusion? Does it keep getting

better after multiple infusions? At what point did

you start feeling the effects from Remicade? What

dose were you on? Did that dose get increased

successfully?

I had my first infusion on Friday and that went really

well. I was tired but think that was from the

Benadryl. My blood pressure was low, but nothing to

worry about. On Saturday evening, I had a full out

ear and joint flare. Took Ultram Sat and Sun, but by

Monday I could not stand it any longer. Upped the

pred yesterday and today I feel better.

I would sure appreciate hearing your story, and so

sorry I've forgotten who it is that wrote about being

on Remicade, but trying to switch to Enbrel.

Thanks, Sharon
