| 2 | Chron's | Joint pain, and no stopping the bleeding and diaherra | M | 75 | 3 months | 11/17/2009 | 2 | psorisis | headaches, constipation, bloating, gas in stomach, upper and lower abdominal pain. | M | 60 | 12 months | 8/18/2009 | 2 | rheumatoid arthritis | I am extremely tired, have low grade nausea, slight fever, night sweats, bleeding under skin, hives, itching | I have called my doctor. He is going to arrange blood work. I am sure he is going to stop this treatment. | F | 60 | 4 months | 8/7/2009 | 2 | Crohn's Disease | Shallow breathing, large drop in blood pressure, feeling terrible. Likely due to the adverse reaction of the mouse antibodies in Remicade. | First time I used it, it did nothing. I had a second infusion two weeks later and had an adverse reaction, they tried again two weeks after that and had the same adverse reaction. | M | 52 | 1 months | 4/25/2009 | 2 | Colitis | I developed Remicade induced Lupus after being on the drug for about 9 months. I had extremely painful swelling in most of my joints. I got put on Prednisone to alleviate the Lupus symptoms. The Lupus should go away once the Remicade leaves my system. | The Remicade worked fairly well on my Colitis symptoms. Now that I can't take Remicade, my doctor is not hopeful that I can take other drugs and is suggesting that surgery is my best option. | F | 43 | 1 years | 3/22/2009 | 2 | Ulcerative Colitis | I would recommend to NEVER take this medicine as a home infusion. After taking this medicine for 6 months with no negative reactions my son had an infusion Dec/08 and had a immediate severe reaction. Thankfully we were at a clinic located on hospital grounds with his doctor available. His reactions were lost vision, blood pressure drop to 50/30 and loss of bowel function and ready to pass out. It was incredibly scary. They immediately stopped the medicine and pumped saline into him. He started to come out of it as fast as it happened. We will NEVER use remicade again. | It did seem to help somewhat for a short time but he was not able to make it to the eight weeks on this last infusion (only make it to 7). Everyone's body reacts differently to different drugs. I know remicade works for some, but not my son, due to the severe reaction at infusion. Just be aware of the possibilities that could happen during infusion. | M | 16 | 6 months | 12/27/2008 | 2 | Crohn's Disease | Red man syndrome during the infusion. I was pretty tired the day of but that could have been the Benadryl as well. I also got an ache in my collarbone fairly soon afterwards. | The build-up was great by the end of my 3rd infusion in eight weeks I felt great, after that, nothing. The maintenance infusions did nothing for me and now I'm on to Cimzia. I'll let you know how that goes. | M | 27 | 6 months | 12/2/2008 | 2 | crohn's | severe allergic reaction, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, difficulty breathing, teary eyes, red face. All effects are not usually that common. | My first dose had zero effect, then after 20-30 into my second dose I had a severe allergic reaction. Doctor happened to be present and stopped infusion. Then gave benadryl and steroids, then fluids and started infusion again. Allergic reaction happended again!!! Stopped infusion for good. My doctor said this was so rare and he couldn't believe it happened so quickly. | F | 30 | 4 weeks | 5/27/2008 | 2 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | abdominal pain, diarrhea, itching, headache and fatigue | Not a miracle drug by any means. I have to take 100mg more than recommended dose and only lasts for 3 out of 6 weeks. Dr. will not increase dose or reduce the wait time between infusions because I am very small 5'3 and 109lbs. | F | 38 | 7 months | 11/30/2007 | 2 | Crohns-UC | Joint and muscle pains. | It worked perfectly for the first few months and after 6 months it stopped working. | F | 39 | 8 months | 3/31/2007 | 2 | UC | My D stopped within one week, but I did have side effects. A bacterial infection in my tooth canal. An abcess that infected my entire shoulder and neck area that required a surgeon in the ER. Severe and crippling muscle and joint pain. I obviously had a bad reaction to this drug, but it does work for others. If you feel you have had a reaction after your first dose, you can be tested for antibodies to see if yo would react again. | F | 36 | | 1/23/2006 | 3 | Ulcerative colitis | It has helped me loads as I was very poorly with losing a lot of blood but 2 days later it came back, I'm very tired have bad headaches and aches all over the itching is the worse part every single night not sleeping very well at all ! | F | 37 | 1 days 2X day | 10/2/2020 | 3 | RA | If feel somewhat at ease the day of getting it .but seems 2 days afterwards I hurts so bad in my toes, knees , I just ache all over .. it's happened all 3 times . I've exhausted all infusions and injections. | I'm still be open minded about the drug since I'm still on the lower dose of the drug and can still be adjusted . I'm holding out it will work . | F | 44 | 3 months 1X M | 8/12/2020 | 3 | Bechcet's | I've had 3 infusions. The day after I feel so good but thenthe next day i get achy, tired, weak for 4-6 days. My family has expressed that I am very irritable for about 2 weeks after each infusion. | I'm not experiencing extreme improvements but there have been some. For me the jury is still out if I will continue the Remicade. | F | 42 | 0 days 400 mg | 5/14/2019 | 3 | Crohn's disease | Massive Fatigue, stomach pain, high fevers, all over body aches and nausea sometimes with vomiting sometimes without. Migraines daily, weakness for a few days after infusion. Bad rash on my foot, lips crack. Hair loss | I keep asking my GI to switch me and she will not because she says I am in remission, I think we have two different opinions on what remission is... | F | 44 | 4 years 400 | 5/27/2017 | 3 | Chrons | Severe fatigue. | Just had my first treatment on the eight week cycle. At week five everything was about as good as you could hope then three horrible weeks happened with some of the worst fatigue I have experienced to the point 12 hours days were very challenging. In the past this level of fatigue is extremely rare and only happens when I have a major flare up. Not sure where to go from here. | M | 42 | 4 times | 6/12/2016 | 3 | Pyradurma Gangrenosum | After recent increase of dosage having extremely painful periods. | F | 41 | 1 years 10mg | 6/8/2016 | 3 | Stomach pain first infusion and now day 4 stomach pain after second infusion. | M | 16 | 1 weeks | 5/8/2016 | 3 | Crohnd | As I continued to take the infusions, I would be very weak and fatigue. I have never had high blood pressure, but each time I would go for my infusions my blood pressure would be very high. I would still have intermittent bowel issues and pain. | I'm nor sure if it is as effective as my doctors think | F | 44 | 5 years | 12/9/2015 | 3 | Crohns Disease | After the first 6 week round I felt great. Now that I'm on my 3rd round and on 8 weekly infusions,I have really bad joint pain,skin rash under my eye,weight loss,and bruising. Skin,splits easily | I will keep battling,have already had a resect,removal of gall bladder and ruled out for a colostomy bag due to horrific scaring after operation | F | 54 | 4 months | 12/2/2015 |
