Good Morning and Happy New Year

I have had RA for a year now and have noticed my pain and fatigue have gotten worse so I am now scheduled for infusions of Remicade this month. Can anyone tell me about Remicade, I am really hoping it is my miracle drug, the pain and fatigue have come and taken over my life. I work 8 hours and then have to take a nap just so I can function for the rest of the day. And I have also noticed my depression has gotten worse. Help!

I am not on Remicade but know it has been a wonder drug for many. I'm sorry I can't tell you more but I hope it helps you with the fatigue. Be patient with it. I know I was told that when I started out and it did take several months to see any benefit from my current cocktail. It's not perfect, but I am grateful to feel the best I have in over a year. Hang in there!
