Hi , everyone ... not been on here for a while - dont worry not forgotten you

Im a bit gutted as im just going through my 1st flare up in ages due to my infliximab dampening every thing down , caught me on the hop really. Forgot that you can still have flares - just spaces them out & takes the kick out of them .

Oh well back to using the steroid cream and mouthwash ....hey ho Lol

How often are you having your inflix? I was exactly the same but getting very ill in between treatments,and they moved mine to every 4 weeks and I have found that is what has started to help me alot more,I still get mini flares in between but not as bad.maybe you could see if they would if you are not already? hope you feel better soon,hugs and loves xx

Hello Hugh. I have been having infliximab for about three years, but I occasionally get mini-flares. Luckily they don't last as long as before, and they are not as severe. When my infusion spacing was every 8 weeks like yours, I was most certainly not so well, and so I have been put back to 6 weekly. This has improved things no end. is there any chance you could speak to your consultant to see if they could reduce the time? Good luck. Hope things improve soon, Suzanne. x

Hi Hugh,

My 11 year old daughter was having 8 weekly Infliximab but due to viruses that then led to almost a constant 10 week flare, now on 6 weekly. I hope this improves. Now been in hospital 4 months this year. I now she feels rotten but this week is a good week, my fingers and toes are crossed it continues for a wonderful Christmas.

I hope you feel well soon.
