How many infussions of remicade did it take before you could notice that it is helping?

I got almost results right away 2nd infusion? and after a year they have stopped working for me. I also got a sinus infection that took months to get rid of, and then I got a staph infection, with huge zits all over my body that also has taken months to get rid of, so at first I thought remicade was a god send and it was and now I'm not so sure, besr of luck

First infusion was like liquid gold and worked...for a short time. We are now on our 5th, and think we have turned a corner. As the 4th wore off, my daughter flared a -new, and now the infusion stopped it. We are at about the 3 month mark, and get 10 mg per kilo every 8 weeks. Back to 2-3 BM's, little /no blood and no pain. Also on other drugs, see tag lines.
So far so good, as nothing else really stopped the nastiness of this disease.
