It's not particularly common. Higher odds of antibody formation and infusion reaction, so make sure you take premeds like Tylenol and an antihistamine.

Did you have the 2 flares when you were on remicade? With remicade the dosage and frequency cam be adjusted to a max of 10 mg every 4 weeks. If that was the dose you were on when you flared then I suspect you will flare again when you go back on it so maybe a different med would be better. If you weren't on the max dose when you flared you might want to discuss that with your doc.
