Remicade

Mr.D. 25 November 2007 09:57:58
 Hello To All,
I am sending this post on behalf of my daughter who has Crohns
disease. About five years ago sshe had most of her large bowel removed nad
was pretty good after that . Now she is having difficulties again and her
doctor at Mt.Sinai hospital in Toronto, Canada is asking her to go on a
trial study with Remicade or her alternative is perminent surgery. Does
anyone have any information or experience with this drug, side effects
etc...
From a concerned dad, please answer back.

I started Remicade a couple of years ago, after my second resection. A
half-year later, I had my first more-or-less normal colonoscopy in several
decades. I still have symptoms, mostly diarrhea, but I believe they're
mostly "mechanical;" that is, caused by the missing several feet of
intestine, not by continuing inflammation. I've had no noticeable side
effects from the drug. It doesn't work so well in everybody, but it's
certainly worth a trial for your daughter.

 I haven't had to go to this medication but most that I know that are using
it have had fair to excellent results with the Remicade along with usually
Imuran, 6mp or MTX. I would do it myself if I needed too. I know others
will be along to also let you know what it has done for them. UM MOM Susan

 I have Crohn's with an ileostomy, having lost my colon over 15 years back.
I've been on Remicade for over three years along with 6-MP and Pentasa. The
only side effect from this regimen seems to be slight anemia, which is
preferable to periodic bouts with blockages. Good luck to you and your
daughter.

 dear concerned dad. i've had UC for the last 5 years and my only option
has been prednisone. the last time i was on it for 6 months. recently i
went into a bad flare again but this time i tried the scdiet... and the
results were nothing short of miraculous! in just a couple of days the
bleeding stopped. a week later i'm still improving. the response was
more dramatic than any drug therapy. i just think before you have any
drastic procedures done you should try this diet. buy or borrow the
book "breaking the vicious cycle" by elaine gottschall and visit these
websites:

http://www.breaking­theviciouscycle.info­/index.htm

http://www.scdiet.o­rg/

3 years ago i balked at doing this diet because it seemed too
difficult. now i'm wondering why i never gave it a try!

best of luck to you,

darrin

 Is anyone taking Remicade in Ontario Canada. Does OHIP cover the costs? what
about the Trillium or Ontario Drug Benefit plans?

Just a side note,,,, when I was on Remicade, I took Allegra instead of the
other stuff and never had a sleepy problem.

 My boyfriend, now 22 years old, was born with a debilitating form of
JRA and OA; they realized he had it when he was 6 months old and his
condition has been worsening ever since. The pain from the condition
forced him on painkillers (Oxycontin) when he was young, and he became
addicted to narcotics because of this. He no longer is allowed to use
narcotic pain relief. We all thought he was in for a life of hell
until when in November his rheumatologist suggested that he get a new
injection: Remicade. After the first two injections, he was actually
able to fly out of bed without bouncing, nearly run up the stairs, and
do all sorts of other things that he hadn't been able to do in years.
However, after the second injection (he gets injections every 4 weeks),
the effectiveness of the treatment has steadily decreased to the point
where it has not helped at all. He wakes up every morning with muscle
cramping and in such severe pain it takes him about half an hour to get
to the couch. He is actually doing worse than he was before he got
started on the treatment. Admittedly, some of this can be attributed
to the weather; we live in Central Pennsylvania and it *is* mid-winter.
But I really don't think that all of his problems are because of the
cold.

I spoke with his mother about some of the precautions about Remicade
and the "warning signs" that he was showing - muscle/joint pain, severe
fatigue, dark urine, fungal infections, severe cough with excess sputum
- and she waved me off, saying that Remicade worked, and that they just
needed to increase his dosage - already! He has Hepatitis C and is on
other medication for his addiction. Although his doctor knows this,
I'm still worried that he's having an adverse reaction because of his
liver problems, although his liver specialist told him his liver was
just fine in October. Have these problems occurred with anyone else
who has had the Remicade injection? I've looked online and have not
seen many/any stories of people whose pain has actually increased since
beginning treatment.

Are there any pain remedies/habits that I should know about/talk to him
about that don't include ibuprofen or narcotics? Can anyone help at
all? He's very depressed about his situation, and so am I. I just
feel that there has to be something we're missing; how can you be 22
and barely be able to walk at all?

 (((((((Jenn)))))))

I'm so sorry to hear about your boyfriend. He sounds like he has been
through so much. I don't know anything about Remicade, but there are
some here who have used it.

Maybe the will be along soon to answer some of your questions. I hope
you get some answers and your boyfriend feels better soon.

 Enbrel, Remicade, and Humira are all anti-TNF medications, but not
exactly alike.

A different kind of medication, Rituxan (Rituximab) has proven useful
for some autoimmune diseases, including RA. It might be worth looking into.

I have been on Remicade for 5 years and it put me in remission. Dose
increases are very common, and many of us also take the drug at
shorter intervals. This is all very common, not sure where you read
it is unusual. Remicade doesn't really effect the liver so I would
be surprised if there was an effect. Joint pain can increase if the
drug is not working well. I am slightly more susceptible to fungal
infections but it is not a big deal. Give the dose increase a chance
before you decide Remicade is not working. You might have him get a
chest x-ray if lung issues are a concern. RA can effect the lungs,
especially if the disease is not under good control. Good luck. --
