I have had numerous remincade infusions over the last year or so, and for the last six months I have been fighting an upper respiratory infection and persistent cough. I am now convinced it is a side effect of the remicate that I was not warned about in sufficient detail. This has become a major problem and I will probably no have any more of the infusion, although my Crohn's in now out of control. Has anyone else experienced upper respiratory disress, cough and sinus problems following remicade infustions? email me with your information. Thanks. Max.

My daughter's doctor is pushing very hard for her to be on Remicade for her crohn's. After researching it on the internet I'm against it. T.B., M.S., deadly fungus infections all being reported. 2 hour infusions. Bad headaches. Not for my beautiful 19 year old daughter if there is any other way. I also suspect the profit motive for her doctor. The nurse can administer the treatment at $25000 per year while the doctor goes on yet another europeen vacation.
Am I wrong?

My husband has been on and off with remicade for 3 years,he was in a car wreck last week,but not hurt,but the stress from it has flared-up his crohn's. Tonight he is in the bed with headache,fever,swelling of the feet and hands,node's under the skin,he tendon,s have tightened up and he is having problems walking,sitting up and just holding up his head. with crohn's he seem's to get a purple color under the eyes. After a while the remicade just want work,he has more arthritis now than he did before taking the remicade,but without it the fistula in his stomach want close up. after the treatment he does good for about 2 weeks and then he starts having problems with his joints.
