What you're experiencing with Remicade (infliximab) is something many myRAteam members have shared about. The initial treatment schedule involves doses every 15 days, then transitions to maintenance doses every 8 weeks. It's common to feel the medication's effects wearing off before the next scheduled dose during this transition period. Your experience of having difficulty moving and functioning in the last couple weeks before your next dose is a pattern some people notice. This may indicate that you and your healthcare provider need to discuss:

• Adjusting your dosing schedule
• Combining Remicade with methotrexate (which is often done)
• Monitoring how long the medication remains effective for you personally

Remember to track your symptoms and share these experiences with your healthcare provider, as they can adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
