Hi there! I've been on Remicade for 3 years now with no flares ever once during my time, but I'm becoming worried now as I just got sick a couple weeks ago to which I was getting closer to the end of my 8 weeks of Remicade interval and ever since then my body has been out of whack. I started to notice that my stool was getting some mucus on it and just last Thursday I started to have bad acid issues to where I could feel burning pain all up and down my esophagus and a tightness feeling. Now a few days later, I can tell I'm in a flare. I'm not keeping weight up, my stomach has been bubbly and getting semi bloated in some areas but I've had no pain whatsoever except just a tightness feeling. I have my Remicade appointment this Friday, but is it possible a sinus infection could affect the body to make you get a flare? Also is this a sign that Remicade possibly is starting to not work for me anymore?
Remicade has been my miracle drug and I'm extremely anxious it's not or starting to not work anymore after this moment of being sick.
