New to the forum, but not to Crohn's (unfortunately) I've been on Remicade for almost 6 years, and I have nothing bad to say about it. I very much look forward to my infusion, I go to the clinic in the morning, get infused and then go to work afterward. I always feel fantastic after. I'm usually in such a bad flare by the time I have my treatment that I can barely walk from joint pain, fever, etc., within 1 hour of being infused, I feel like a new woman. It's my miracle drug.
I don't take anyone with me to the clinic, I look at it like a chance to get some quiet time with nobody bugging me! To read, watch Netflix, or maybe nap?
GI has recently put me on Entocort & 6-MP + 3,000 IU of Vitamin D/ day to try to reduce the flare to nothing...claiming it's the ideal combination to put me in remission, so far, I just feel really tired, so we'll see.
