Hi Daina,

Just saw this post of yours from a year ago --- glad it felt like a day at the spa. I hated getting the infusions because I was not sick enough at first to feel ready to be tube connected for 3 hours in a room with several other people, all of whom had been given Zyrtec, and were drowsy - no one wanted to talk, I felt like I was trapped in the Matrix ! (if you've seen the movie, you'll know what I mean).

I Hate when that happens! Sorry to mess this up.

Anyway, I was just going to say that the effect of the Remicade over the following week and 2 months was amazing. But it was really more than I needed or bargained for, but gave me the motivation to choose something as effective, though a little less overwhelming - like the Enbrel I'm on now.

I COMPLETELY understand being 'angry at the healthy husband! I have to watch that myself - he's the one who stands by me, even if he doesn't understand it all, is faithful, puts up with it - then I have to back off in embarrassment, thinking "why am I being so difficult to the only person who is really there for me?"

This RA is a difficult lesson to deal with!

Hope your meds continue to work well for you! Sorry you've had to deal with this from such a young age - for me, it wasn't until my 50's with my daughter leaving home, etc.
