I started back on Remicade this past January. This is my second time using Remicade. Did it a few years ago and it worked great but I eventually stopped treatments. So my flare-ups are back and I've been on Remicade for over 6 months now and nothing, nada, zippo! Right after my infusions I used to feel crummy for at least a couple days, not now I don't even feel like I had the infusion done (almost as if they're just flushing saline in my body). The only thing different this time around is that I am NOT on IMMURAN. My doc said the whole "theory" about
having to lower your immune system prior to using Remicade was becoming debatable the last couple years. Anyways, I fear that not following protocol is gonna cost me this time around. What has everyone else done when on Remicade? with OR without IMMURAN? and has anybody started IMMURAN during their REMICADE treatments? (I'm thinking of going back on, but fearful its too late if my body has built up antibodies.) help!
