| 4 | Crohns | Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but I have had no issues with remicade and the side effects. I've been doing great on it. I get mine every 8 weeks and it seems to be working keeping things under control. I feel great - normal! I can eat again! I was put on remicade after my crohns had got so bad I had 2 strincture's , a fistula and an abscess. I'm hoping it will continue to work for me. | F | 33 | 1 years 120 | 11/26/2014 | 5 | RA | Very tired and very cold after infusions. | Have had RA for almost 20 yrs and so far remicade has been the best med for me. | F | 45 | 4 years 400MG | 11/18/2014 | 4 | Chrohns | Fatigued, anxiety seems worse, dull headaches for several days after. My worst side effect is the extreme upper stomach pain. It takes 3-4 days after treatment before it goes away. Nausea and unable to eat for 3-4 days after. | Before starting remicade my life consisted of pain pills, and laying on the couch. I would have good days but they were few and far between. I am generally hospitalized 1-2 times per year for flares. Have been put on a feeding tube twice. Since starting remicade I actually have a somewhat normal life. I still only eat soft bland food but I no longer have to take constant pain medicine. My only complaint is the severe stomach pain that has me crying in agony for 3-4 days after infusion. Then it stops until my next infusion. I get treated every six weeks. I am 36 and pray this continues to work. This was my last resort after trying all the other medications they use to treat chrohns. Have had 2 bowel reductions and before remicade was getting strictures often. Ct scan showed improvement in areas that were once ulcerated and narrowed. Remicade has improved all this. Now to just deal with the stomach pain after treatment. | F | 36 | 9 months | 11/1/2014 | 4 | Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. | She has extreme mood-swings from the day of until the week after infusion, she is not hungry at all for the day of the infusion until about 3 days later, experiencing moderate/severe hairloss (very concerning) and she is itchy. However Remicade has been a life changer for her we love her being on it. So we will deal with the side effects. | F | 11 | 4 weeks 300mg | 10/4/2014 | 2 | Crohns Disease | Swelling face, consticted airway, rash for 2 weeks after infusion, severe back pain, exhaustion for following days. | M | 22 | 3 months | 10/4/2014 | 4 | chrohns | Horrible headaches, brain fog, cannot form words correctly, bloating, extremely tired for a few days after, dehydrated, shaky, irritable | M | 31 | 2 months 5mg per kg | 10/3/2014 | 4 | Ulcerative Colitis | abdominal pain,cramping, goosebumps, bloating, | 400mg every 6 weeks | M | 17 | 10 months 400 1X O | 9/23/2014 | 5 | Crohns | Headaches/migraines. Joint pain elbows. Lips center mild twitching. Inner cheeks sensitive to salt or heat. | So far Remicade has changed my life. I can eat pretty much anything I want. I don't have to worry about where a bathroom is, or how long a trip will be between bathrooms. Previously tried every other drug or diet including humira and nothing worked. I have Relpax for the migraines and it's worth suffering from migraines to beat the Crohns. | F | 55 | 10 months 1X O | 9/4/2014 | 4 | crohns disease | Besides from the hair loss and extreme fatigue the day of, Remicade is a life saver.. I feel like Megan Fox in the movie "Jennifer ' body" where she had to feed on blood or she looks drained or dull...and then after she feeds she feels alive, beautiful and vibrant! Lol | F | 26 | 4 days | 8/13/2014 | 5 | uc | Fatigue during and after infusion. Painful joints several weeks after.Dry skin. Sensitive to cold.

Hair fell out and medically induced hyperglycemia. My Mother was given injection after the 2nd she became extremely ill nearly passed away. After months of hospitalization and learning to walk again etc. She was NEVER THE SAME AND PASSED AWAY March 18, 2014. I would Never recommend this med to ANYONE!! | F | 76 | 2 times | 7/28/2014 | 5 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Not aware of any side effects other than being tired after the infusion & wonder if is thinning my hair - not on any other meds. | F | 64 | 7 years 500 mg | 7/25/2014 | 5 | psoriatic arthritis, enthesitis | Some tiredness. Nausea and hair loss. Overall I'm up. No longer wishing I could die d/t the pain I was in. Was able to decrease my pain meds. | F | 60 | 1 years 400mg | 7/5/2014 | 4 | severe, aggressive RA &AS | extreme fatigue, after infusion i sleep 14+ hrs. loading doses gradually led to me feeling great again. then regular doses progressively led to reactions (sweating, flushing, itching) then by 3rd dose i became EXTREMELY fatigued, swollen lymph nodes, joint pain; couldnt even walk, was sleeping all day. this fatigue lasts 3-5 days then clears up. compared to how i was prior, Remicade worked well but after time I am getting tired of side effects & am developing antibodies, even though Im on 25mg MTX weekly. I developed resistance to Enbrel & Humira so I think TNF blockers dont work for me. | M | 38 | 4 days 5mg | 6/22/2014 | 5 | chrons | Eight years ago, I felt as if I was paralyzed. My doctor suggested remicade I was a little hesitant due to the side effects. When all other drugs did nothing to help the pain I decided to try remicade. The best thing I could have ever decided. Remicade is at the top of the pyramid, once you start to use it, normally other medication will not work. Always make sure you get it as prescribed not before or after the date. This will greater uour chance of feeling tried and the side affect. My life total changed, thanks to remicade. | F | 46 | 2 months 600 | 6/16/2014 | 5 | ulcerative colitis | Very fatigue and have muscle ache along with severe headaches | M | 27 | 7 months 690 | 5/25/2014 | 5 | AS/PsA/psoriasis | almost complete remission of skin involvement, pain relief from Ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis/spondylitis. Changed to self-inject sue to insurance change...worst mistake! | F | 62 | 4 days 1X day | 5/21/2014 | 1 | JIA juvenile arthritis / uveitis | Extremely tired a week after the infusion. Mood swings. No patience at all, poor concentration. Extreme rash around her eyes. Tingling in her arms and then she loses strength and sometimes drops things. Headache , she looks grey with no life in her. I want my vibrant girl back! | F | 9 | 3 months 1X M | 4/15/2014 |
