REMICADE PROBLEMS??? | Arthritis Information

Share
 

Hi - I don't post often but I love all the insight you all have.  My problem is I have started to have the feelings of pins and needles all over my body, muscle spasms, stumbling, no sleep (nothing new), the worst fatigue I have ever experienced and when it hits me my legs feel like they can't function and I can't describe the pain.  I saw my RA doctor this week and I started to explain by symptoms and he told me I now need to see a neurologist and I have to stop my Remicade treatment (I have been on it for 3 years) until he clears me because in rare occasions Remicade has caused nervous disorders and multiple sclerosis.  I see the neurologist on Monday and hope he can figure out something before my next treatment which is the 5th of April.  Can't be without my treatment - of course unless it is causing my problems.  My question is - Has anyone else experienced this while on Remicade?  Thanks for the help.  Sandy

Hi Sandy,

I have been on remicade for about 8 mos., and so far
have not experienced what you have described, so I
can't offer any info on that.

But I just wanted to say that I hope that you are able
to find out what is going on-sounds really frustrating
and painful. Hope that you will be feeling much better
soon.
