Hello. Does anybody have experiences with Remicade. I just took my first infusion yesterday and I am wondering how long does it start to kick in. I felt pretty good today, but not sure if its the Remicade or just a flook.

Thanks

I asked this question recently, too, and it seems like it varies. I started it 2 weeks ago and go in for my second infusion tomorrow. I felt better the second day, then worse for a few days, then slightly better but I am really not doing that much better now. I am also tapering off prednisone which always makes me worse.

it has taken 3-4 infusions before it started working for me, at 6 week intervals.
