For Crohn's Disease "Insurance forced me to switch to Inflectra due to being cheaper for them for my Crohn's. I did not have a say, and insurance won't listen to Dr. recommendations. While on Remicade, I only had flare-ups 3 days a month during my period, but no other issues or side effects. Yet after only 2 infusions on Inflectra, I have multiple daily loose stools regardless of a healthy diet, as well as bloody stools at least once a day. In addition to Inflectra not preventing flare-ups, inflammation, and symptoms, Inflectra has incurred more issues that I didn't have previously: kidney pain, rib pain, joint pain: shoulders, wrists, ankles, nausea, headaches, severe fatigue, Charlie horse cramping in my hands, where I can't move my thumb; it's completely contracted. I'm in my early 40s with a toddler to try to keep up with, as well as a career to maintain, and this isn't fair to me or my family."

For Ulcerative Colitis "Insurance company switched me off my Remicaid to the cheaper drug, Inflectra, causing severe flare. Headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. No energy during the day, I have to take several naps just to get through the day. I had just gotten used to being and feeling better after fighting with my colitis. The Remicade put me into remission, and now I'm sick again because of Inflectra."

For Ulcerative Colitis, Maintenance "I was on Remicade for 2 years and was able to have my pouchitis under control after the second infusion. No pain or inflammation. Was using the restroom 2 to 4 times a day. I have been on Inflectra for 8 months, 4 infusions, and it has been downhill after about 30 days from the first infusion of Inflectra. I have felt like rubbish for the past 8 months: loose stools, using the restroom 10 to 12 times a day, cramping, no energy, and my inflammation is back. Do not switch to Inflectra from Remicade. It does not work the same."
