Hi,,, My son has been on Remicade now going on 4 years...His doctor has him taking it every 6 weeks now
instead of every 8 weeks due to a fistula he had and is now healed after surgery.
However, he is feeling cold all the time,,goosebump cold, even with heavy clothing,,and heaters on.
Also aching heavy feeling in his legs.... It this one of the side affects of Remicade now that he has to take
it every 6 weeks? Just curious if anyone else had this symptom.

I don't have the coldness but I do get the aching in the legs, especially for about 2 weeks after each infusion. Try doing a search, located above. If I recall right, I think I read somewhere that someone else was having issues with regulating their body temperature.

My mom gets Remicade for her rheumatoid arthritis and she is always cold and bundled in sweaters. She is also 79 years old and that may have something to do with it as well. I do not recall feeling cold when I was on Remi.

Whether it's from Remicade, bad days, my age or what, I also have problems with being cold, usually from late morning to evening.  Showers warm me up and so does being out in the sun.
