My Doctor suggested Remicade. Was wondering if any one has used it & if the results were good, he said it has alot of side affects. Any info would be appreciated.

I haven't tried Remicade myself, but I have tried both Enbrel and Humira. All the TNF blockers can have severe side effects, but many people live very well with them, having only very manageable side effects (for more on that, click here). if you don't get any other responses to your question in a couple of days, you may want to try asking it in the SharePost instead - they often get more traffic then the Q&A section.
