I don't think so Joylu, I have never heard of anyone getting pancretitis from Remicade. I am not sure if it is a common possibility with Remicade. I know my GI warned me when I started 6mp. For Remicade, I had to get a chest xray, hepatitis testing and a TB test (I had a flex sig too). I didn't end up starting it - suddenly my condition improved for no apparent reason. I have been fine since. A lot of my doctors have been surprised I am on 6mp and didn't opt for Remicade. I went for 6mp because I know I wouldn't be able to afford remicade if I was uninsured and my insurance could be gone at any moment. That scares me.
