Infliximab
Hi I am due to have my first infusion next week of
infliximab
. What side effects might I expect. I have read the information on this drug but I wondered what other people think. I am slightly anxious as I have previously had Steven Johnson syndrome twice !!!

Remicade versus Inflectra
Had my
infliximab
last week but haven't been feeling as well as I usually do after my infusion. I've found out today, after 16 years on Remicade, they changed it last week to Inflectra without telling me. Has anyone else been switched like this? If so, did you notice any difference? Thanks Ruth

Hello all , 24 months approaching 😎👍
Luckily I responded well to the initial steroid and
infliximab
infusions and now all in remission.. it’s for life , same as Crohn’s disease , I’m on some other horrible chemotherapy drug ( Methotrexate) which is also used in IBD to suppress your immune.. blood tests every 2 weeks to keep an eye it’s

Infliximab and weight gain
I have been on this drug for 10 weeks now and have gained about half a stone but have gained several inches all around the middle. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed if this gradually disappears - obviously with some effort - or if it just gets worse?

Infliximab reaction
I had previously tried Humira then the
Infliximab
and neither has worked they want me to try Stelera but I'm really worried about trying another Biologic drug.

Infliximab into tissue not vein
So I had my
infliximab
infusion yesterday and it took 4 attempts to get the line in, 1 hour into my treatment my arm became real sore and I noticed that around the infusion site was really read.

Partner with Crohn's due for Right hemicolectomy, any advice for recovery etc?
He has since been on
Infliximab
infusions and Azathioprine but he has been out of remission for the last year and now suffers with bowel stricture and lots of scar tissue: He is due to have a Right hemicolectomy next week as the stricture is getting worse and worse.

Inflamed muscles feel like tough meat...
When I started Remicade/
Infliximab
infusions a little over a year ago, my muscles became, for the first time in a VERY long time, more fluid...somewhat NORMAL feeling. The pain was still there, but I could feel a difference in the TEXTURE of my muscles.

Feeling trapped behind Behcet's
The best way I was recently able to describe how I feel is 'spiritually broken'- I don't feel particularly depressed nor am I currently experiencing any dehabilitating symptoms (
Infliximab
seems to be doing the trick for now!).

For Remicade/Infliximab Patient’s...
I receive Remicade/
Infliximab
infusions for Psoriatic Arthritis and Psoriatic Spondylitis. I was wondering how often everyone receives their infusions, how long the effects last (before your pain noticeably resurfaces) and what the side effects are that you get and how long they last.

Finger swelling despite relief from last Remicade/Infliximab infusion?
Hello again! I recently had one of my worst and longest flares- about 1 1/2 months long! I went this past Tuesday and had my Remicade infusion and I’m feeling SO much better! However, my fingers are still swollen and I’m wondering why, especially with the drastic change in the way I feel from the Remicade

Ustekinumab, Crohn’s
I suffer with Crohn’s disease and recently been having symptoms etc so doctor changed my medication from
infliximab
to Ustekinumab. So had my first dose of Ustekinumab on Friday the 5th of October. And ever since I’ve been suffering with lower back pain, nausea and stomach pain.

Tocilizumab Injections
I’ve recently switched to Tocilizumab injections after 14 years on
Infliximab
infusions. I’ve only had four injections but have yet to see any positive results, in fact after being fairly well controlled I feel my RA is getting worse by the day.
