Many Years

after my 4th colon resection in January 2013, I was able to start Remicade. It must work since it has been nearly 2 years since a flare-up. Other than the cost, which is extremely high, I experience hot flashes. Sometimes as often as a dozen times a day. I am 69 years old, and was already over that symptom of menopause nearly 15 years prior. The hot flashes begin about one month after the previous injection. My Dr thinks I'm crazy, but I've had a couple years now with the same pattern. I saw an online comment a few times where someone else had this exhausting symptom.

Anybody else out there who has experienced this?
