I just finished my 4th dose, here is my thing on rem. the first 3 are loading doses to make sure you accept drug and get your body use to it, the first one helped alitte, 2nd one the same, 3rd one about
the same but it wore off after 5 1/2 weeks and I was really suffering, I have cd in esophogus and throat, difficulty swallowing and food would get stuck in my throat. throat felt swollen, on the 25th of oct. was my 4th dose and within 1 1/2 hr of infusion i could swallow pretty normal and when hosp. brought me lunch i could eat refried bean and tortilla, which was huge. so it has helped my throat area but my small bowel section not so great, still need pain med's, but not as many nor as often, so don't be afraid, my worst side effect is slight bronchitis and achy knees and lower back, but that lets up(hopefully)I stopped the benedryl as well
