I went through the forum and I can't find any resent posts about Remicade. I am currently taking 40mg of Humira every week, and it is no longer working for me. My GI wants to switch me to Remicade, and just waiting for my insurance to approve it.
How have you all traveled while on Remicade? I know there is an infusion schedule that must be followed, but my husband will be stationed overseas for 2 more years. I am not allowed to go with him since the Navy cannot provide the care that I need at the hospital on base. They currently do not have GI doctors there. I want to visit my husband while he is there, but if I go it will be for 2 months at a time. I am not sure what my infusion schedule will be at the moment.
Did Remicade really work? I am hesitant to keep taking biologics if my body builds up antibodies and the medication won't work.
How did you feel after your infusions? I have a 3 year old that I have to keep up with, and the side effects of Humira make it very challenging to do.
Any advice or shared experiences will be much appreciated!
