infusion today
Hey everyone, just had my first remicade infusion today without any problems...Though they did give me 50mg of benedryl that made me incredibly sleepy...I'm anxious to see how this stuff works...Hopefully I want have any side effects...I'll go back in a couple of weeks for another infusion and then see if I can finally come off the steroids...The prednisone works very well, and quickly, but I hate the way they make me feel...So ill and grumpy all the time and that is just not me...I've been told that it takes Imuran several weeks to start working. I think my dr. wanted to get me off the steroids as soon as possible, so that is why he chose remicade...Of course, I had to agree it...I think I'm one of the fortunate ones who got the disease caught in the early stages...I have what I would call minor symptoms, but very consistant without at least 40mg of steroids...
