Hi!
I was advised Remicade by my Spine specialist. After looking for its side effects on Net I decided not to take the risk.also I don't have any pain but my posture and walking style has changed. Instead I am on Homeopathy medicines from South India. Hope I get positive results .
Take care

Remicade gave me Lymphoma cancer. I am feeling better now since I started physical therapy at least 2-3 times a week. Therapy is the key!!!!!!!!

I've just had my fourth infusion, with no side effects so far. Seems to be really helping my scleritis, but not so much my sacroiliitis and other joint pains.

Hi! I have been on Remicade since I was diagnosed with AS 5 years ago and have never felt better!! I have not personally experienced any side effects. The treatment itself is good. It takes away all my pain!

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
