WHENEVER I READ THIS STOREIS IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL.. I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING THE SAME PAIN FOR 3 YEARS.. NOTHING MAKES IT GO AWAY.. FINALLY A FEW DOCS HAVE ADMITTED THAT IT HAS TO BE A SIDE EFFECT OF THE REMICADE AS THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS HORRIBLE PAIN IN THE BOOKS! I STOPPED THE REMICADE 2 YEARS AGO & THE PAIN IS JUST AWFUL , JUST AS YOU DESCRIBED.. MY LIFE , IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT IS SHEER HELL. HOW I WISH THAT I COULD TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME AND NEVER HAVE HAD A DROP OF REMICADE. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ( I CURRENTLY AM TRYING PLAQUENIL, NSAIDS AND 2MG PRDISONE.. NO IMPROVEMENT YET)

Sorry for your pain but glad to hear someone else has this same pain that I am having thought i was going crazy I have been on remicade for 3 or so years and this pain in my joints , back all over is killing me but my stomach dr seems to think I am crazy , I am printing your posting to show him others than me have this problems please let me know if you change meds and if they work I am thinking about asking to go on humira???

GET YOU RECORDS AND COMPARE THE BLOOD WORK PRE AND POST REMICADE. LOOK AT THE SED RATE AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN... I AM WILLING TO BET THEY WERE GREATLY ELEVATED AFTER THE INFUSIONS. THE REMICADE BASICALLY TRIGGERED AN AUTOIMMUNE REACTION OF WHICH IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING ACCORDING TO THE DRUG MAKER..CENTOCOR. i AM WILLING TO BET THAT YOU CBC WAS OFF AS WELL. THIS A DANGEROUS DRUG. THE PHYSICIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO REPORT THE SIDE EFFECTS TO THE FDA VIA MEDWATCH. YOU CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE AND REPORT THE SIDE EFFECTS YOURSELF.
