I started remicade in March pain has dissappeared almost at all times.
I feel better inside/blood pressure is below/at normal.My breathing is not a prob now.I'm back at riding my bike 100-300 km.per.month,walking with a quick pace,,eyes are not sore every morning,I feel like I'm 20 again and no more headaches,because of swelling in the jaw/ear area.
The doc's were after me for 5 yrs to start this,i was hurting badly,CSB approx 200+ every month,but with my parnoia/and basically scared,I said I would suffer.And suffer i did.
I'm glad i waited tho as it would hav run its course and start becoming more ineffective by now with what I read about how long it works
But when I start eating starches again since atarting Remicade after a couple days the effects of remicade are weary.The pain is quite
noticeable,back,hips,neck,headaches,,etc.So I avoid,starches n dairy,Drug works great than after 3-4 days
I hav had NO side effects yet,,knock on wood,,and its been 6 monthd,wow I feel great going back to work full time,and getting a new car(2nd hand new to me,,lol)
But in my experience stick with the NSD always,I find the drug does the job a lot better with the swelling caused by my auto-immune eating away at me,,,hope this insight with my experence helps you with your decision to get on remicade.
cheers,,,Andy
