I have had three treatments of Remicade- I am not in remission- my cramps, when I have them (to often) seem stronger and hit faster and I just dont like it.


Has anyone else had this problem and how long until you call it quits on Remicade? Whats a reasonable expectation for symptoms to go away??

I will be getting my 3rd Remicade treatment on Friday and I am not in remission either. The frequency has gone down a little but not much (5-7 times per day as opposed to 7-9). The urgency is still intense and I'm still experiencing lots of blood loss. My numbers were down when they checked them at my 2nd infusion and if that keeps up I'll be headed for another iron infusion soon, as well :-/ I was told that I would start seeing results from the Remicade by the 3rd or 4th infusion, so I'm still hoping. Good luck.
