Re: anyone here taking remicade?

I also take asacol 6-mp and was until recently taking prednisone.
it seems that in the first two weeks after each infusion is when i have the most problems with the abdominal pain constipation and small amounts of blood when i do go .all this seems to subside after time and is usually gone right before an infusion,and comes back right after.

From what your describing. It sounds like the Remicade is making your Crohns symptoms worse not better. if it was me I'd stop the remicade and see how I felt.

Re: anyone here taking remicade?

Hi
I have been having Remicade for about twelve months it has put my crohns into remission but know i have been diagnosed with Drug induced Systemic Lupus probably caused by the Remicade which is actually much worse than the Crohns was, so i cannot have it any more

Re: anyone here taking remicade?

sorry to here about the lupus. is it reversable? I haven't had a good feeling about this whole remacade thing since the begining. just trying to do what the doc.says.i don't feel that it's helping enough to continue.
