Remicade

Hi,

I have had 3 infusions of Remicade and my pain has gotten worse. I asked my rheumatologist and he said I need to give it more time. Is this normal? I am also on Methotrexate and Plaquenil. I figured every infusion my pain would get better, not worse. Just wondering other people's experiences with Remicade. Thank you

I've had 4 infusions and I really can't say the same. I was on Enbrel prior and that make me feel sick. So far Remicade is better but no real answer for the pain. Mine said the same about giving it time to do its thing. I'm going every 4 weeks since I can. I need all the help I can get. I'm not doing the 8 weeks at all. Good luck to and me! 🤗
