Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I just started Remicade about 4 or 5 months ago. I remember after the first couple of times I was really wiped out. But now, I don't notice any extra tiredness after an infusion. As for pain meds, I used to take Darvocet to take the edge off. If I took anything stronger, I'd just end up asleep which was one way to deal with the pain. gloria -----Original Message----- From: tbarron46 <tbarron46@...> Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 18:28:08 -0000 Subject: after effects I have noticed that for a couple of days following my remicaid infusion I am very tired and ache all over.My strength is nil and I sleep alot. Anyone else have these same problems after an infusion? Also anyone taking vicodin for pain, and if so does it help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 I found myself hitting up the demoral and vicodin the past week. Trying to get thru this prednisone decrease is a killer. Tomorrow is my monthly appt. I should find out about Humira. I don't think it hurts to take something to take the edge off the pain now and then...and sleeping helps like ya said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maggie http://www.4HockeyFans.com http://www.4FloridaHockey.com MSN: Maggies1429 AOL: Maggies85 gloriarex@... wrote: >I just started Remicade about 4 or 5 months ago.
