Re: [crohns_n_colitis] Starting Remicade....need words of encouragement

I had a single infusion of Remicade. The infusion is no big deal, lasts about
2-3 hrs, they will probably give you some antihistamine meds to avoid
irritation where they place the needle. Short term it is pretty gentle, long
term
you have to watch out for upper body infections, as Remicade alters the immune
system. Go to the Remicade web site to get the manufacturer specifications and
possible side effects.

It does work & you will see the results slowing kick in over a two week
period.

Good luck

Chuck
