Remicade (infliximab) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in August 2005. I am 33 years old now. I tried Enbrel that worked for a little while in combination with methotrexate. Then on to Humira and methotrexate. After that didn't work I started Remicade infusions with Arava in April 2007. I have been pain free ever since. I have not had one flare up or stiffness since. Occasionally when the weather is bad I know it is coming but that is expected with arthritis. Remicade is wonderful.

Remicade (infliximab) for Crohn's Disease -- Maintenance: I am 22 years old and have had Crohn's disease since age 17. I can't take steriods of any type - makes me go crazy. Remicade is the best drug I've been on for my disease. It works great but has some bothering side effects for me but they are not bad enough to quit gettting this medication every 8 weeks at the hospital through I.V. It takes about 2 or 3 hours for the treatment to be over.

Remicade (infliximab) for Ankylosing Spondylitis: Not a miracle but the closest thing yet. Has restored functionality to my life. Monthly infusions are a break from the seemingly rushed rheumatologist appointments and give plenty of time to discuss treatment and concerns.

Remicade (infliximab) for Ulcerative Colitis: I've been on Remicaid for 4 years for UC. I am in complete remission...its unfortunate that it's an IV infusion, but I will gladly deal with this versus the effects of Ulcerative Colitis.
