I had really no noticeable side effects from my first remicade - expect for feeling better!

Hope it works for you - any idea how long they expect to keep you in? Feel better soon!

Remi is awesome. They administer it in a big room in the hospital here, you can see smiles on people's faces just by looking at them. It works fast and it really helps.
 
I hope it worked well, it was great for Brandon, 5 days later hes in complete remission, with a few anoying side effects. Let us know how you got on.
