I am my third remicade infusion and have not really noticed a difference. I am in extreme pain and i can barely stand up. I thought the remicade should take effect by the 3 treatment?

Hi Shelby,

My GI says the 4th or the 5th could be the charm. I have seen a few others post that.

My first two went well, my third I have had some additional symptoms, but got off pred. I had my first fully formed poop today in about a month (makes me so happy ; ) I got better, then worse and now better. I have #4 next month.

It's such an emotional roller coaster! Hang in there!

Take care,
Beth

I'm sorry that you're still feeling poorly :( I hope it will kick in for you soon. But in the meantime, what kind of pain are you experiencing? Cramping?
