Going Back On Remicade | Arthritis Information

I know it is cliche but you don't know how good you feel until you don't feel good.... ya know. I just want to feel good again!

I'm confused...is having to wear only pink a side effect of Enbrel?

Good luck with your new treatment approach!
LOL Gimpy, I have to wear light colors because the psoriasis is so bad that the flakes show up so bad on anything dark. My head is covered with it so people think its dandruff and I get embarrassed, I have that dust off stuff at work for my computer and I go through like a can a day just blowing the skin off my shoulders... yeah gross I know, I'm embarrassed all the time, before the Remicade I wore long sleeves all the time, never wore shorts or skirts, and like I said, was relagated to pink and white and beige... soooooo boring. Oh...tee hee. Well, I hope you get some psoriac relief too!

Hiya, Barb! I wish you the best of luck with Remicade! You'll be wearing dark colors in no time.

I was wndering how long have you been off Remicade. See my doc wouldnt put me back on it after not having it for a few months because he the nurse said people who try to go back on it have an allergic reaction to it because your body tries to fight it that is what the infusion nurse told me that who knows just causious when your taking your infusion if you feel funky tell the nurse. I hope that all goes well and it works well for you.

Hi, I just had my 11th, yes!, infusion of remicade. I do believe I feel better after every treatment (I hope so as it has cost the government ,000!! I feel guilty about that), My foot has a problem that just won't go away, and I'm concerned that the Rem, isn't getting to it. I don't know what to say except 11 treatments ago I couldn't get out of bed or walk!! I like this much better, just walked the beach this morning, getting my life back.

Good luck, Lynda

Hey everyone, thanks for the support, Ive only been off it now since September, the nurse said as long as it is within 6 months I should be okay. Thanks for the warning, Lynda, I'm thrilled to hear the remicade is helping you so much, Hope you enjoyed the beach. Have a great day eveyone
