Went to arthritis doc about
a month ago for joint pain, after about
1-3weeks, prior to next infushoin. . he took blood from me and sent it to two different clinicis. found it that, i do not have arthritis in any form and the Remicade that i have been on for 2 yrs does not work like it used to. i have been getting the infushion every 8 weeks. one of the reults that came back showed that i did not have any remicade in my system after 7 weeks. So called my Gastro doc yesterday about
this. the way it sounds i will be taking it ever 6 weeks. i do not have a problem taking it that often, but, my pocket book does. it costs me $500 every time i go in there, after insurance. i do not want the alternative which is, them nasty Humira shots. I always live my life oneday at a time. but now i am nervous the remicade is failing me.
