Hello, this is my first post here. I was diagnosed with crohns disease in august 2011. I first was taking pentasa, then i was put on remicade ever since with no problems. Right now im in the process of switching medical insurances. I had an appointment with my new pcp (who happens to be a gastroentrologisgt) to get myself an appointment to get my next infusion. I was told it could take up to 2 weeks until I could get an appointment. My question is how long do i have until the effects of remdicade wear off? I had 300mg every 8 weeks and my next schedueld infusion was suspposed to be tomorrow. If i remember correctly my last GE told me that if i went off remicade there would be a good chance that my body would build an immunity to it and it would no longer effective; This is why i'm worried. I'm a 20 year old male by the way.

Hey welcome! Im pretty new here too. Everyones body is different when it comes to that, but you can usual start to notice the symptoms when it begins to wear off. Hopefully you dont have to stay off too long and your insurance goes through pretty quick! How long have you been on the Remicade??
I notice when it starts to come close to my next infusion i start getiing nausea and stomach pains.
