I used Remicade once a month for over 6 yrs. When I switched iv I was told that my body couldn’t handle Remicade any more. It took 3 hrs to take the IV.

Bronchitis With Remicade?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Williamston, MI

I'm concerned that I might have bronchitis and I am on remicade (if you couldn't guess from my subtle title) I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this, would they just delay my infusions until the bronchitis clears up if that's what this is? I've heard of all the dangers of pneumonia and biologics, but haven't read anything about bronchitis. Thanks for any input, hope you all are staying as well as can be today :)

Enbrel And Medicare

Windcrest, TX

Will be switching to Medicare in a few months and in researching my options I'm finding Enbrel will cost me about $5000 more per year than it does on my current health insurance. What have other people done when moving to Medicare?

I have been on Taltz for 2 yrs. Comparatively, it has been more effective than Remicade (which I was on for 5 yrs), but I have more side-effects. Thrush (yeah, like babies get) has plagued me from the… read more

Has Remicade Helped Anyone?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lander, WY

Hey Guys
I am currently on Cimzia right now. My options are very limited due to me still nursing my 10 month old little girl. My rheumy said that Remicade is another option that has been seen to be safe while nursing. Every time I do one of my Cimzia shots they seem to last less time and I am really only getting 50% relief. I was wondering how anyone has done while on Remicade? This would be my last try on a TNF inhibitor because if it doesn't give the relief needed then my Dr. would like to… read more

Has Anyone Been On Remicade Infusions For Ankylosis Spondylitis?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
New Hampshire, OH

I have been on Humira injections at home since 2021 & nsaids and am finding that this is becoming no longer effective. Plus I have been having issues with my insurance with home biologic medication. So my rheumatologist may change me to Remicade infusions at a infusion clinic. I just wanted to ask others experiences?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member

Does anyone have both AS and Spondylosis? My doctor just informed me that I have both.
