Is this normal?

[Splasher]

I just started infliximab 2 weeks ago, after a few days i felt totally great, was only having 1 bm in morning and it was formed, i don't remember ever feeling that good or awake, total bliss, it has started to slowly creep back though, the bm's getting looser, more frequent and tiredness seeping back in. Is this normal and 2nd course will boost it more? I am scared my body is fighting against it and it's just coming back again, after a taste of what being better feels like i am worried. If anyone had similar or can give advice i would appreciate alot, thanks

Yes, I think that's normal. The first 3 infusions are closer together to build it up in your system. I hope it continues to work a long time for you!

indeed it is normal, it took until my 4th infusion before it really made me feel good.

Well personally I felt exactly the same way I felt completely awsum the first couple month and though this is good it felt to good to be true however with that I slowly progressed worse and now I'm on Humira jabs instead which seem to be holding steady
Good luck though

Good luck with your meds, I hope they do the job.

It took three infusions for DS before we hit almost "normal"
Good luck

I'm on my 3rd,which i had nearly 4 weeks ago and same thing keeps happening.Toilets are formed instantly and pain is controllable but doesn't last.I did get an extra week after the 3rd but not holding out much hope on it lasting the length of time between infusions.Hope yours start lasting longer
