17 Aug 2016	using Remicade has allowed me to become physically active again. i again play golf. I have ED and some vision problems. is there a method to continue Remicade and combat ED? —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

17 Jun 2015	I started taking remicade in Feb. it has done nothing to help with my ulcerative colitis. Approximately 3 weeks ago, I had a stronger dose. Five days after that I started experiencing weakness in my hands. I currently don't have the use of my thumb and forefinger. Is there any hope that I will get the strength back? Is there some kind of detox that I can do to rid my body of the remicade? —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

23 Sep 2013	After taking Remicade I have experienced a lot of dizziness/confusion, balance issues and stomach pain(mild). I walk through the house balancing with walls.
