Hi Wanda,
Good to see you posting but very sorry to hear you suffered an allergic reaction. That would be scary! I am relieved to know they were able to take quick action to calm it and that you were able to finish the infusion, but I can appreciate why you'd be nervous after this unpleasant episode. It sounds as though the protocol they've had you on has worked well up until now, considering how many years you've been on it.
I had a adverse side effect of nausea only once (also after my 1st infusion) but have been fine ever since (*knocks on wood). It wasn't an allergic reaction in my case and I continued just on a slightly lower dose of remi plus a small dose of benadryl, pre-infusion. My next will be my 38th since beginning in Nov 04, so I guess our schedules must be different but am curious if you've ever had a treatment break?
If it was caused by antibodies to remi, I hope you'll be able to switch to another biologic safely, if that's what your doctor and you decide. I'd be interested to learn what your doctor says and suggests for going forward.
I hope you are feeling better and have recovered from this scare!!
hugs,
mig
