This is going to sound strange but since I got my remicade infusion last week my feet have been cold constantly.

Has anybody ever experienced this or is it just me thanks

Nope, I haven't had that. Do they ever go numb? Have you had any rashes?

no not numb just cold never had cold feet before no rashes as of yet.

Dont know if I should ask doctor is it normal for this with remicade

Lol, I thought you were having 'cold feet' (metaphorically) as in you're not going through with any more infusions!

I might be starting remi in a few weeks, and if 'cold feet' is a side effect I could live with that.    It seems there are loads of little quirks and 'delayed' side effects with this drug.  I wonder if the majority of users actually experience absolutely no problems with remi?

It would be nice to think of it that way, but I'm a born skeptic!

Okay, it's good that your feet don't go numb or you don't have any rashes. The reason I asked is because cold feet or hands that go numb are a sign of Raynaud's Syndrome. Raynaud's Syndrome can be a symptom of drug induced Lupus.

But as long as it's not bothering you, than you should have nothing to worry about. If it keeps up, you should make mention of this to your doctor just to be on the safe side.

Yes this a side effect of remicade. I have the same problem. It causes raynaud's syndrome

I've been diagnosed with Raynauld's syndrome. My fingers get white as a ghost, numbness, cold, etc. I was on 6-mp when these symptoms started.

Could this have been the cause? Rrrrrr!!...seems like I keep adding to my health issues with these crappy UC drugs!!
