Actually, I went in on Tuesday for my next treatment. After about ten minutes of infusions, My throat began tightening up and I could barely breathe. The nurse stopped the infusion and it began to get better, but then I started puking. When my doc came in I then told him about the jaw pain. He told me there are two types of reactions from remicade, immediate and delayed, and I had experienced both of them. So anyway, I'm not taking remicade anymore. I'm starting Prednisone today because my symptoms have gotten much worse, and then I will be weening off of it when I start I new medication (can't remember the name) shortly.
And all of this during the end of the semester...one week and then finals. I can do this (I think!).
