It’s been a while since I have last posted. I hope everyone had good holidays! I have hit the 1 year mark for being on remicade!! lt has helped so much this past year. Being on remicade for a whole year is an accomplishment in my eyes, I couldn’t make any progress on any other medication. I have just pushed the dosage over my limit but I am confident this little boost will continue my relief for some time. I have recently developed some eczema on my face, another thing to put on my resume. I have been well considering. My “resolution” is for me to continue pushing my health in a positive direction and to work on exercises and stretching more. As difficult as it can be, it is beneficial to my mind as well as my body.
Does any one else have any resolutions to share? Any health related ones?
I am wishing you all a good New Year! I hope you find some relief in your days.
Hi sstjohn! Congrats on the 1 year of remicade!! It’s so good to hear something is finally working, especially after you’ve been through a few medications already. Staying active is a great way to live in the moment and destress too, good luck with your resolutions! Over here I think my resolution would be to set small weekly/monthly goals for myself-- much easier to track progress and accomplishments that way and stay motivated to keep going! Best wishes to you this year and hope that your positive energy carries on!
Well, that’s great news, sstjohn!
My resolution is to also do stretching exercises plus ride my exercise bike. I’ve been religious about doing the stretches twice a day since Jan. 1, but haven’t started the bike yet. I got some excellent stretches from my physical therapist for my SI joint and if anyone wants them, I can attach a copy. My daughter does yoga and she suggested some stretches too. It’s remarkable how these simple exercises wake up my body!!!
As far as the remicade goes, I’m so glad you shared your positive results from it. If I retire and go on Medicare, I think I’ll have to switch to remicade. It helps me to know it works well for others.
Happy New Year—May you continue to have better health!
Here’s to us, our resolutions, and our success! My resolution is to get back to the pool, which I’ve not done since I’ve taken up extra responsibilities here at Ben’s Friends. But it’s time. High time I get back into the routine that has done me so much good in the past.
Let’s also resolve to coming and checking in here more often. I’ve been so not here lately!

My only resolution is to invent high quality chocolate that replaces Dmards!..and to stay close to this wonderful site!
