Remicade second infusion

[@RidinCountry]

Good luck! 1705mg of Remicade every 6 weeks has saved my life! ✌🏼

Thanks for posting, I am going to start remicade soon and I am just trying to see what others are going through...the day after is what scares me

[@ankyspondy771]

I can understand your trepidation. I have no side effects whatsoever after my treatments. If anything the next day actually feel much better. There were two visits where I got a little bit of an allergic reaction but the Benadryl helped it right away. Hopefully all goes well for you.

@@ankyspondy771 Thank you for helping set my mind at ease! Right now I'm just on prednisone and it stopped my flare up (lost 30 lbs in a little over 3 weeks, scary times) and I had to wait for insurance to approve. Just glad to see we have a great community and we are in this almost like a family

Does it make you gain weight?

[@ankyspondy771]

@@DownSouthDiva354 no. Lyrica causes weight gain, but I have not found that from the Remicade. A few times I had a steroid during the infusion and I stopped because it was making me very puffy and not feel well.

So tired and sore waiting for loading doses to start working
