So today I go for my 3rd Remicade infusion (4 weeks), and I'm hopeful but kind of worried. Everyone says it's like a magic experience, but I have yet to feel the magic. I notice a slight difference with the morning swelling, but nothing in terms of the other pain. I have tried Humira, MTX, Enbrel, and I am still taking the MTX now until the Remicade kicks in. Has anyone else had a similar experience with Remicade where it took longer to work for them?
At first mine did not work either. But my rheumy, increased the dosage & frequency. So don't give up hope. Keep us posted.
Thanks Liz. I'm trying not to.
I had three doses with very little improvement. My fourth dose made a world of difference. I was out of my wheelchair, hiking with my family within a matter of weeks. I had to go off of it for several months, but am back on it and have seen improvement after my second dose.
Praying it works for you!!!!
