Remicade and Hockey

[canes1003]

Hello, I have done a lot of research on the topic but can't find an answer.

I play adult league sponsored hockey and we have a match the same day as my next infusion ( today). It's a high cardio sport. Right now I feel ok but i wondered if it would be safe to play on the same day of getting my infusion.

Im sorry for clogging up your forums but i did not find anything close to this question on the forums.
Thank you for all your help.

To add to this, i asked three nurses today and no one could give me a clear answer. It's "i wouldnt do it but i've never taken remicade" Doctor said he wasn't sure. -_-

Thanks

I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't be able to as long as you feel well enough after the infusion and everything was normal during the infusion. I used to feel so tired after having remicade when I was on it even going back to work after was difficult.
I tired to google as well to see if anything popped up but it didn't and nothing on the drug info sheets online.
Good luck with your game if you decide to play.

I too don't see a problem with it. After I had my last infusion I went to work where I have the potential for high stress etc......as long as you feel up to it!
