I totally get it, I felt the same way. :) After the first few infusions, you'll feel like a pro. :)

I too will be starting Remicade soon. I'm in the hospital for the 5th day now. I'm feeling much better but when I have a bowel movement I get an excruciating migraine that I'm pretty sure is coming from the high steroids I'm taking. Anyone else have this problem & suggestions to ease the pain. I can't start Remicade until I have s colonoscopy next week. I hope it works for both is us.

I always get migraines with steroids.....I have prescriptions for rizatriptan and sumatriptan, which work amazingly.

The triptans don't work for me, however Benadryl works great. I was having a horrible migraine this morning & I asked for Benadryl (given in my IV) & it literally went away before the nurse left the room.
