Just got my third loading dose of Remicade this week, still haven't seen much of any results from it, still doing the whole deal with the colitus symptoms.
Anyone out there experience this kind of delay with this med?

     I felt like a million bucks almost immediately following my very first infusion of Remicade....but...I was also still on prednisone.  My symptoms returned after my 3rd infusion, when I was off the prednisone sad .

Tuch, I see people post all of the time who have delayed results. Some say it can take 5 infusions to see results. We do have to keep in mind that Remicade doesn't provide results for everyone with UC.

I had great results after my first infusion, but I was still on prednisone. After my 5th infusion I had an adverse reaction to the Remicade; eyes began swelling shut, eyes lids were to painful to touch, abdominal swelling, lots of other problems. Not trying to scare you, just know the complications of Remicade. My GI doc didn't tell me, so I thought it was the Prednisone.
