Welcome, Mike!

Remicade response really varies from person to person - with some not seeing much response at all and eventually stopping all together. I seem to be an odd one in that I responded within 2 introductory infusions. I hope you see the same results! Good luck!

Welcome Mike,

As everyone has already said, it works differently for everyone. I started to feel immediately better after the first infusion. Almost 100% after second infusion. This drug can be a miracle for some people!

Good luck!

I've had 5 infusions and haven't noticed that big of a difference, which I'm really upset about. I'm also on Entocort and Imuran. It truly is different with everyone, hopefully you will get relief really quickly. Happy Thanksgiving!
