To begin Remicade...
I visited with my rheumy yesterday and we are moving forward with Remicade. I will begin my infusions
on February 18th. To have a sense of self again still seems so far distant. Feeling hopeful, yet, feeling melancholic. I bid you peace for now...
I was on Remicade about 3 or 4 years ago. It was the last treatment before I lost my health insurance. It seemed to be working after about my 3rd infusion. Then on my 4th infusion I had a bad reaction and got an infection too. I had to quit. Then a few months later I ended up not being able to work any longer, so I had no insurance any longer. I hope your treatments go well and you can start to feel well again!
