    Hi there,

    if it was me, I would be contacting whoever prescribed this to you, be it the doctor or Rheumatologist.

    I would be a little nervous about what you are experiencing. I agree that you should get into your doctor soon. Remicade is hard on the body. As my GP explained to me, a small fraction of the DNA in Remicade is not human DNA. That is what is so hard on the body. A friend of mine was on Remicade and his GP advised him to get off it as it was doing more harm than good. His rheumatologist agreed. I would take it only as a last resort. Instead, I rely on turmeric which works great for me.
