Oven been on Remicade for about two years now. Started with 500 mg every 6 weeks, now up to 600 mg every six weeks. I've also had to add methotrexate (first oral, now injection) 25 mg per week, and celecoxib twice daily to help with peripheral symptoms. During the start of week 5 between infusions I have breakthrough symptoms with more back pain, prolonged stiffness, and fatigue. I do have antibodies to Remicade which can affect longevity, but given I'm only 36 yrs old and on three meds, my doc is hesitant to switch me until the symptoms are awful. Also, my CRP and sed rate still show response.

For me after going for infusions every month for 6 yrs; my ne Rhuematolgists said that I was up too the max dosage & the results were not as helpful reducing pain anymore. So she took me off the Remicade. However I believe they were still helping to reduce the pain.
