When I received the 2nd infusion of Remicade. the infusion was done very slow, at about
a quarter of the bag, I started feeling numbness first, and soon after tingling in my right hand and tongue, dizziness and could not speak. I was aware of what was going on around me, and obeyed the commands that the nurses were given to me. But if I tried to speak the words were wrong! I was taken off the remicade, given an IV of saline solution, with a shot of steroid, and given oxigen. All week, I had a terrible headache, the pain was on the back by the occipital side of the brain, accompanied by dizziness and light headed. As result, I need to have some MRA of the brain, and vascular system and see a neurologist. Has anyone ever had an experience like mine, while on Remicade?
I am 60 yrs. old and have CD for about 27 yrs.
