My doctor wants me to start Remicade as I've failed everything else I've tried. It probably sounds dumb, but the thing that worries me the most about it is having to take the Benadryl beforehand and then being so tired afterwards and maybe have to sleep all afternoon! I have an 11-year-old child (and work full-time) and can't be sleeping all day! Also my husband will have to take off work to go with me as I won't be able to drive home. If you don't have any kind of allergic reaction to your first infusion, do they continue to give you Benadryl every time? I would love to hear how others deal with this, and what side effects you have from Remicade. Thanks!
