Remicade Reviews

Show: for
Working / Worked
This worked greatly until I developed an allergy to it and had 3 bad allergic reactions during infusion.
It actually worked very well for me although my doctor took me off of it when I started having blurred vision
Finally got my Crohn's under control after a very rough couple of years of flare-ups and trying different medications.
Working / Worked
NOT
treatments every 8 weeks for 1 yr,been working very well
Working / Worked
First infusion tomorrow
Working / Worked
Taking still; appears to be relieving my joint swelling and pain symptoms. Just finished loading period; now experimenting with dosage and time between infusions.
I started remicade in April 2008 and did the initial course wk 0 wk 2 and wk 8 my specialist wanted to see whether the azathioprine would hold me. It didnt and I subsequently had two other flare ups which resulted in my specialists putting me back on remicade. On September 13th 2009 I would have had a year without any flare ups a date which makes me happy but scared.....my boyfriend and I are counting down the days...this treatment WORKS!
Improved lab work; Various side effects including fatigue, cough in combination with lisinopril
Works for me.
Infusion every two months.
But the next morning after, I get a TERRIBLE migraine.
