Remicade

So far I've had two Remicade infusions.  I'm still having morning swelling, stiffness and pain, but it doesn't take it long to go away (less than fifteen minutes maybe). In my constant search for information regarding RA, I found out that this means the medication is working. ??? Wow! I guess I was hoping that all symptoms would be erased,... Read moreChevron

Remicade is going.........

OK, so I started the infusions about 1 and 1/2 months ago and all seems to be going. That's it , just going. I have no side effects, no allergic reactions and it really feels almost like a spa day at the infusion center.
