Remicade Reviews

Show: for
This is the main thing that keeps my CD in remission (along with azathioprine)
Working / Worked
It was working for a year, now it only works for about 4 weeks and my doctor is concerned that I may have anitbodies that are attacking the medicine. I am still waiting on test results for that diagnosis.
Has allowed me to live a normal life. I get infusions every 8 weeks over a period of about 2 & 1/2 hours.
It got me so I could actualy walk again. So far it is keeping me in remession somewhat.
This has helped me get my life back. It is the single thing that has helped me the most.
worked for 3 months, then I had a relapse.
Worked wonderfully for 6 months and then turned on me causing drug-induced lupus.
My doc. want's to put me on this but I dont think it is for me
Great results but I developed antibodies.
Im on remicade now. Its working pretty great :)
