It didn't work for me. It seems like such a crapshoot, choosing what medication to try...especially the ones in the similar realms...(Humira vs. Cimzia vs. Remicade). I was really dissapointed when it didn't help me, I expected it to be the magical answer I think. We even doubled up for a month and did it every week instead of every other week.
However, part of the reason why I had such high expectations for it was because I know A LOT of people who have been on it (for Crohns, and other things as well) and it helped them so much.
I guess it really just depends on the individual person. I hope it starts working for you. At least there are other options if it doesn't. I had one Remicade infusion after Humira failed and I'm still in a lot of pain but feel loads better from just 2 weeks ago (nausea gone, mouth sores gone, etc.) I chose Humira over Remicade because the doctor said I only had a 1 in 3 chance of it working since I was on it years ago. So Humira seemed like the better option with the decreased chance of Remicade working.
Good luck!!
