I started it this year after Imuran and Asacol weren't very effective and caused me pancreatitis. It's worked amazingly! I haven't had any bad reactions except a little tired and a migraine the day after (but I get migraines regularly, so it's more just that). Right now I have pancreatitis and a feeding tube and I've been so afraid that it will get my Crohn's all riled up because before I would flare at everything (salmonella last year, c. diff. twice this year) but I haven't at all! I'm a fan. I just hope it stays this way.

just a partial list, be informed, ...... memory loss is on my list. It is good in some ways and rough in others. Ask many questions. I do.

I've been on Remicade for about 5 years total so far. I have no side effects and it keeps me under control for the most part.

I read that as Yoda saying it >_>

Been on Remicade for a year. Not given me any nasty side-effects, but not worked either. However, it works for most patients, I'm in the minority there.
