Stopping infliximab

[Teddyedward]

I was due to have an infliximab infusion last Feb but due to covid this appt. was cancelled. I was called last March by the RA CNS who advised that they were unable to offer infliximab now and that she would call me back in 6 months time to reassess the situation. She did, indeed, call me back and advised that she still cannot get me back on infliximab. I am now in severe pain with my hands being all but useless. I have an appt on Feb 11th (hopefully) but wondered whether anybody else is in this situation or are you all still receiving treatment?
