"After using Remicade for years, I switched to Renflexis because it had better insurance coverage. Renflexis has worked remarkably well for me. The Remicade kept my AS under control, but I would get random temporary swelling in my hands and knees, which is not happening with Renflexis."

"Switched to this because insurance made me. Was supposed to be the same thing, but 5 hours after my infusion, I had burning in my esophagus and throughout my lungs. The left side of my face went numb, and I was extremely dizzy. Then, extreme abdominal pain, which then turned into me screaming in the bathroom with horrible diarrhea. I was on Remicade for 8 years, but that never happened, so I do not think they are the same. I am normally pretty sensitive to medication, so I was surprised that I handled Remicade so well. I was not expecting such a horrible reaction from something that’s supposed to be the same."

"Amazing medication! I have been in constant pain with AS for about 12 years. My condition is not classed as 'very advanced' yet, however, it is enough to keep me up at night and leave me very stiff and with limited mobility. Although I was told it could be a few weeks before I would feel better, from the very first infusion - that very day, I started to feel a LOT better. At night, for the first time, I actually slept right through and woke up with no pain or stiffness whatsoever. It has been a week now and I feel as good as ever, and my mobility and range of motion has returned. I have not had to take any additional medication or sleep in an upright position, which has been my go-to for over 5 years. I genuinely couldn't be happier, it has made a positive impact on my life. On a side note, it may be unrelated, but the infusion left me feeling very hungry after the session and gave me the munchies for the rest of the day. However, the next day I was back to normal."
