Hi I am due to start my infusion very soon, I was wondering how others felt about this so called 'wonder drug'.

    Hi,

    I have been on infliximab for over a year and a half now and it's the only drug that actually worked for me and got me better. I think it's great and that's why it is always the last resort.

    Hi Lynne I had a few infusions of inflixmab a few years ago and had no improvement at all. I ended up having a resection which took away the part with active crohns and strictures and have been good since that was 5 years ago. Latest colonoscopy last week is showing inflammation again. Give the infusions a go everyone is different and some have found this drug a life saver. Good luck
