My last remicade infusion I had a sore throat for about 6 weeks, it went away about two weeks ago. I just had a infusion on Wed. and my sore throat was back. It is painful. Just wondering if this is a side effect or if you have gotten this? The remicade is working great for me but I get these stupid side effects. My joint pain seems to be getting worse also. Ugh!!!! I have a scope down the throat scheduled for friday and I get heart burn from the remicade and I'm on prilosec but I never got a sore throat like this.

Yes I have the same issue, I have just been advised to add Allopurinol to the mix (6mp, remicade, asacol) so I thought maybe it was a reaction to that. Its so difficult to tell. I also have recurring bouts of thrush ...this is SOOOOOOO awful
