Hi Brenda,
I’m on Remicade infusions and they’ve changed my life. My pain level is dramatically reduced and the swelling in my joints is less. My elbow no longer hurts constantly. I don’t do injections because I can’t stick a needle in me. The infusions are every 6 weeks and I look on them as a wonderful time out. I can knit or read. The infusion center is pretty new. The staff are wonderful. I can’t think of one thing I would change to make it better
I’m not having any side effects except my hair is getting thinner and thinner. I asked my rheumatologist if I would be staying on 5 little methotrexate pills taken on Sunday night and the Remicade infusion every 6 weeks. He replied that if I’m lucky I will stay on this medecine for life. He further explained that the medecines are working and I’m not having negative side effects so he’s thrilled.
Thank you for your reply Suz73. I am happy your treatment program is working for you! I have noted several users have noticed thinning hair with both of the meds you are on. I appreciate your feedback.
Suz73. Thank you so much for your response.! I really appreciate it.
That’s great. Any side effects!
