Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hello everyone. I had my third and final Remicade treatment Monday and again I had a reaction, this one only took a couple of minutes, my chest felt heavy and my face was hot and flushed and my back felt like I had a heating pad on it. This was after taking 60 mg of prednisone 6 hrs before plus 25 mg of benadril and two tylonel 30 minutes before. I recovered quickly when the infusion was turned off but sort of knocks the heck out of me for a couple of days. So here I am with everything used up and my Rhuemy said he is going to have to scratch his head to decide what to treat me with. I am still exercising each day, had a bit of a stand still with weight but am back on the losing end now, eating much better, that should help my joints some. Hopefully something else will come up but I sure get tired of being poked and taking pills all the time. I guess after 18 years of it I would be used to it. I don't suppose whining is going to help. Actually things could be worse. Heres to a pain free weekend for everyone. Thanks for listening, in Central Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
