After an infusion, how long does it normally take before you start to notice any improvement?

I noticed an improvement within a few days. Others posting on the board say they didn;t notice any real improvement until their 5th or 6th infusions. I am still not in complete remission but am steadily improving and am doing way better than I have since diagnosis two years ago.
I am on a six week Remicade schedule.

My UC started slow and then came on real strong causing me to lose 50lbs in 3 months. Nothing worked except Remicade. I was having at least 10 BM's per day. After my first infusion of Remicade I noticed a huge improvement 2 days later. In fact, I was back to normal after 3 days. That's how well it worked for me.
