Re: Starting Remicade and Scared!!!

[Guest guest]

Don't be anxious--the infusion is simple, painless, and results are

amazing. SAy goodbye to pa, fatigue, etc. and be thankful insurance

pays. I've been on Remicade 1yr+ and it truly is a miracle drug.

Good luck!

Hi Ann,

All I can say is that I have not yet been given the opportunity to start on

any of the biologics yet but when they do ok it (Which I hope will be soon) I

will go for it. I have a nine year old son

but...................sometimes..............A man's gotta do what a man's gotta

do! (and woman. Lol)

I might just lock away into quarantine every day when he comes home

from school.

I'm sure he won't mind if it is helping his old dad! lol

Hope whatever you decide, things get better for you in the future.

Hi Ann...

I hope the Remicade treatment works well for you ~ I have been on it for 5

months and other than being very, very tired the next day (although no more

tired then when I was dealing with the flare and was like that everyday), I have

had no side effects nor have I gotten sick. I must admit, I don't have young

children, just a teenager, but I do take vitamins religously and try to take as

much care as possible.

Good luck ~ I hope it turns your life around as it did mine!
