Hi all, I have indeterminent UC/Crohns, looks like UC but have
complications of Crohns. I have been on Prednisone 3 times in last 6
months. I am starting Remicade in the next couple weeks. I was
wondering how you feel after the infusion? The same day and the day
after, any ill effects? I work two jobs and neither know about the
disease. My doctor has been wanting me to go on Remicade for a year
but I keep putting it off. I don't know why but I am hating the idea
of such a strong drug and the infusion aspect. I give myself shots
for
arthritis and it's no big deal. I am just having some anxiety over
this and I am not an anxious person. I think part of it too is this
looks like the last step before surgery. If Remicade doesn't
work......
uuuhhhggg.

Someone said Remicade has only been around for about 5 years, so we
really don't know the long term effects.

Has anyone been on it that long or longer? Still works?

Any words of encouragement would be great.
