Hi all, I had my first infusion on monday, it gave ma a severe headache and sickness but now that has passed I feel great, no pain!!  How long can I expect to remain pain free??good for you, may!!  I'm glad  you're feeling good!!  I have no contribution to your question, but am glad you're pain free!!I have no experience with infusions either but I think results vary from person to person. Glad you are feeling better and hope that it lasts a LONGGGGGGG time!Glad to hear you are pain-free right now! I do not know how long it will last for you. I take Remicade 3 vials every 8 weeks. So far ... I get 3 almost 4 good weeks. The first week after infusion, my body is working on getting my swelling gone, then I start to do better once the swelling is gone. That lasts about 3 weeks and some days, then I start to swell and the pain and problems come back and I am like that until my next infusion which is usual a whole month I have to wait before my next infusion.

 
Hope you continue to improve!
 
I just started remicade six weeks ago so they are still adjusting my dosage. I have found some relief for about two weeks and am hoping it gets better as I continue my infusions. Hope you feel better soon
