I am going to start taking Remicade within the next week or so and I just wanted some input on how it made you feel?? So anyone who is either on Remicade or have been on it before would you please just let me know how you felt on it or any side effects that you might of had.
My wife receives Remicade (infliximab) every 8 weeks, recently after fighting a cold/flu she was diagnosed with RCE and has gone through a number of ointments etc from her optometrist. She has another appointment Friday and may be referred to an ophthalmologist for more treatment options. The concern is she is scheduled in the next day or two for a Remicade infusion ( treating UC). Her concern is "will the remicade adversely affect the healing of the eye with RCE?".
Was the ER for mood Swings? and were you depressed while on remicade? How has your mood been since you have stopped remicade? Hope 2012 is better for everyone!!
After trying every drug going I have now just been prescribed and approved for Remicade. I am feeling so hopeful that this will be my 'miracle cure' - - I have felt so unwell for so long. My fear though is I know of no one who is on Remicade in my situation. Everyone seems to have a large bowel still and the five people I actually know on Remicade can't say enough good about it - - but they still have all their 'parts'. Any one out there in my situation??
Hi, how long has anyone been on remicade and is it safe in the long term? I've been on it every 6 weeks for almost 2 years now and no signs of my gastro stopping it...
I currently just had my 5th Remicade Infusion last week. Yes, there are side effects, like being allergic to it, but a lot of the side effects people experience from it are because they have other conditions or are on a lot of other medications. I think the Remicade is helping me, but then again I'm not sure because it's internal, and I can't see what's going on. It is designed to heal fistulas and take down the inflammation of the bowels and intestines caused by Crohn's.
is unsure if it is the remicade or something else is going on. Cant rule out remicade, but the reactions unually subside within a few days and mine have continued. I am not sure what to do to feel better and am not getting any direction, other than ride it out. Any input or suggestions would be so helpful and I would appreciate it.
I last had my last Remicade four weeks ago and then tried my first loading dose of Cimzia. I am very ill from the Cimzia. Does anyone know if I could move back to Remicade if only 8-10 weeks have passed. My side effects on Cimzia are comparable to the.side effects on Humira that caused me to stop using the drug. Remicade is only marginally effective now for my Crohns but the side effects are minimal. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I have GHSV2 and have had to go on remicade to treat my ulceratice colitis. I am trying to figure out how to minimize outbreaks (I seem to get one after every infusion) I am currently on generic valtrex which I had only been taking for outbreaks. I looked up the standard dosing for prevention of outbreaks but that doesnt seem to keep them at bay either. I cant stop getting th remicade so are there any suggestions as to what I can do?
Interesting question. I haven't checked my boyfriend for blood in semen but I will. My boyfriend is on Remicade for Crohn's as well, my concern/question, is if anyone knows if the remicade is transferrable through his semen to me? I've been getting cold after cold since we started dating a few months ago...and I NEVER get sick. I've called the company, but they only say it hasn't been tested and they 'think' it doesn't transfer...no help there.
two small foci of increased signal in subcortical white manner. On Remicade. Neuro says it could be normal aging or possible MS. Wants to repeat in 3=6 months. Thoughts?
Searching, I found you and am excited that there is a group that may actually be able to answer some of my questions. The first thing he wants to do is put me on solumedrol for 5 days, I am not currently in a flair. Any reason I should put myself through that if I am not currently having symptoms?
I know steroids can make you susceptible to infections, but has anyone developed a UTI on solumedrol? I had the unmistakable first inklings of one a bit ago. I rushed out for cranberry juice and a blueberry smoothie (blueberries are supposed to have the same effect as cranberries, and it's a good excuse for a fruit smoothie!!) and I'm hoping I can keep it at bay this way, but I guess I'll know in a few hours. These things tend to come on fast for me.
Her CRP is high at 168. RF is negative. Anyway, the rheumy started her 1st infusion of Remicade yesterday. No change in her condition as of yet, but I know it takes time. How long can we expect to wait for results to show up? Also, I forgot to ask this at her last rheumy appt, but how is Remicade any better than Enbrel or Humira? (SHe hasn't been on them, but I just wondered why he chose Remicade.) Any info you can provide would be most appreciated! My daughter is at the end of her rope.
I am looking for a new job but my concern is that I have to get my remicade infusions every 4 weeks also I see my GI doctor every 6 weeks and I get so frustrated when I have to go and ask for couple hours off or for remicade i have to ask for the day off it takes me all day to get my infusion because the hospital takes for ever to get the med ready plus i get sick on the day of, so i don't know how to handle this situation, I prefer not to mention anything but i need time to get my treatme.
