Advice & Tips

Remicade is infusion only. My infusions are once every 5 weeks, and they take 2-3 hours each. I feel terrible afterwards and need to go home to sleep, but usually feel good the next day. I make sure I bring a good book or some trashy magazines to make the time go by faster, and the staff at the infusion center is always very sweet. I actually find the infusion time to be relaxing, since I really can't do much while I have the IV in. I try to enjoy that down time.

Advice & Tips

It is better if you are squeamish about giving yourself injections because it is an iv treatment. A slight hassle because it takes up a few hours of your day just to get the treatment and usually you are feeling sick for a day or two after.
