Remicade and muscle pain

Remicade did wonders for me, my Crohn's disease went into remission. Still have muscle pain over a year after not taking it. Maybe that is from the Imuran. When I had my infusions I had to have Prednisone before & during because of an allergic reaction.

Muscle pain in arms,numbness in fingers and hands, nausea and stomach pain within 4 days after each infusion (I have had 3 infusions so far for Crohn's Disease)

Originally diagnosed with PMR and was taking prednisone in high doses for 2 years with ok results, except that as I lowered the mg of prednisone the PMR symptoms returned. New doctor diagnosed RA instead and put me on Remicade. After 4 infusions I am having severe muscle pain in my upper right leg. And on occasion the beginning of the same problem in my upper left leg. Affectsmy mobility and I am taking large doses of tylinol & motrin for the pain. Doctor says this is not a side effect of the Remicade. At first I believed him, but now am having doubts. Anyone else have this side effect?

I've had 4 remicade treatments on my 2 treatment they had to stop it after bumping it up to 20 cc cause it started respitory problems and made my blood pressure go up. now when I go for treatments I have to take 75 mg of benedril and 30 mg of prednisone, now i'm noticing leg cramps, muscle pain, joint pain, my hair is falling out more than it ever did before. I'm not sure if this is related. Now i'm having bruises that don't heel up and, i'm getting sick with a respitory infection and i get frequuent migrains I also noticed tooth aches , i try to stay away from sick kids but for my crohns and ulcerates colitis i'm eather bound up or running for the restroom.

My name is Ana, I am 27 yrs old with Rheumatoid Arthritis. During my 6th treatment of Remicade I couldn't breath, but I got better after the nurse stopped the infussion and later started it very slowly. During my 7th treatment I also couldn't breath, got cramps and my hands were soaking wet. After Oxygen & Benadryl I felt alot better, I got home at about 5pm from the hospital and at 7pm; I couldn't bare the muscle pain. I had an MRI schedule the next day and had to have someone drive me because I had a SEVERE headache and cramps. I had to drag my feet in order to move around, because I felt as if every step that I took was going to kill me. That day when I got weighed the nurse told me I lost 6 lbs, since they saw me last and it had only been 7 weeks. I now feel a slight headache and I do get hungry, but I can't seem to eat and I wake up with an upset stomach in the mornings. Has anyone else experienced this? Can someone please tell me if this is common. Please e-mail me at shy_peppy@yahoo.com if you like with any response to this
