Are we doomed?

Lr21, yeah I can tell you're pretty nervous/worried about remi as you're asking a lot about it. Research is good it can help quell your misperceptions about it. I'm generally an optimist, although admittedly it is getting harder and harder to maintain that point of view since uc reared its ugly head lol. I only started remi on September 10th so I remember how I felt before going to get it done the first time. I was a little nervous too. I kept having all of these what if's running in my mind. My dad came along and we joked, and talked about this and that and before I knew it the infusion was over. I was fine, other than the needle prick used to set the iv, I never felt a thing, all my concerns were unrealized and for naught. Afterwards, I felt silly for worrying. The thing is remi gives you a chance of feeling better and improving your quality of life. To me, that was worth a shot and it has paid off so far for me. Looking forward to my 3rd infusion mid next week and more improvement.

IPOOP, I really don't worry too much about actually getting the remi, it's the darn side effects that go along with it. Thanks to all of your research, I can see that the chances of any are rather unlikely, but they are there for some. I'm getting more comfortable with the thought of getting the remi the more everyone talks about it. sorry dmc2011, didn't mean to bring this into your thread. Great thread though, seems as if attitude and lots of talking is key in relieving that "doomed " feeling.
