Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.
I didn't know there was a club for this.

I'm due for my fourth in about a week or so, too. It sure as heck doesn't feel like it's doing anything!...but I'm due for my fourth. Anybody else get sleepy during the infusion? Every time before I've drifted off after about an hour.
Update
It has been a couple days since my infusion. I feel slightly better I think. I am still passing some blood but not as much. Same thing as after my third infusion. I definitely feel better than I did before I started Remicade but I am not back to normal if that is even possible. I was having a terrible time digesting foods, especially veggies, before Remicade. Now I am able to eat them again.

I hope the Remicade works for you. I was able to get off the prednisone when I started Remicade. I liked the prednisone when I was on it, but now looking back, I realize that it gave me a false sense of good health. It felt good and I had less symptoms when I was on it, but I was still in poor health. I was on 60mg/day and I developed fistulas on it. No fun. Fistulas are doing better now. I can't wait for them to go away.
