First dose of Remicade yesterday

I was a little anxious at my appointment, but the infusion was uneventful. Pre- medicated with Tylenol and Benedryl. Vitals stayed consistent and normal. I "talked" to the Remicade as my nurse mixed it and told it to be good to me and do its job. Couldn't hurt to put a little positive vibe in the room :)

Last night I had some pretty severe upper GI pain, way up under my rib cage, stomach area. If it has lasted 5 minutes longer than it did, I probably would have gone to ER. I had a cup of herbal tea and it passed.

Today I'm just dealing with a little more fatigue and a dull headache ( which might just be from being so tired).

My question to the group is should I continue with the Cortifoam? I still have quite a bit of blood with 6-8 BM per day. I'm also still at 30mg of Prednisone.

Thanks pb4!

No, from start to finish it was only 3 hours. And it should get a little shorter, as the first few times they infuse very slowly to ensure there is no reaction.
