I have an appt on Nov 5 to give my Rheummy my answer on whether I want to start Remicade. I have decided that I am going to try it. Based on everyones experience with this drug, will it just take the swelling away or will it also make the pain go away too? I cant take much more of this pain and really hate taking pain meds all the time, I feel like a druggie. Wish I didnt have to wait til the 5th just to discuss it. Will probably be a week or two after that appt before we can start anything.
