That's awesome news thanks for sharing I just took what I think was my 7th remicade infusion, second infusion at the 500mg dose and it's finally working for me as well. Here's a virtual *high five* from a fellow remicade user haha

It has truly been a blessing to get mostly my life back! It's been so long I had forgotten what normal felt like!! I hope this lasts for a long while

how did you afford? my gi said remicade is $3000 per infusion.

 

[chrisnsteph1022]

Probably insurance. I'm currently waiting on my insurance to get their heads out of their butts and approve it for me. I hope it works as well for me!

Remi-Start helps the insured peeps.

People without insurance can still get it through J&J financial help.

same here I love this stuff still have symptoms but nowhere near as bad as I was can't wait for my 3rd infusion

 

[moogie]

I also have 2 insurance to pay for my infusion. SO I get it free kind of.

my mom has insurance through her teaching job. its kinda weird, we dont even pay a co-pay. i hope you can all find an insurance plan or something to pay for it or help at least...it couldnt be THAT expensive?

I'm into my 4th week of the second infusion and feel like I have gone backwards badly more pain gas cramping and hard too have a BM hope the 6th week one helps as its the loading dose

I remember this moment as well when the Remicade first kicked in for me - beautiful. So happy for you!

Oh, and yes, it's a very expensive medication.

Is it possible symptoms get worse on Remicade before they get better?
