22 Apr 2012 I have had severe mental problems while using Remicade. Please consider that there is a chance that you will have these side effects as well when you start using this drug.

08 Sep 2011 I feel like total crap after my third infusion. I'm glad it helps some people, I wish it helped me.

12 Feb 2011 Remicade is taking me out of a year long flare that helped land me in the hospital. It can be a drag to get the infusions and there are risks, but it is worth it to me.
