Now a new side effect, I have posted other side effects that were enough to get off the remicade. I went in and had another surgery because the side effects of this drug was killing me.{see other effects I posted under Jbill} So now the Doctors are looking into Brain damage. I am going to have a MRI done to see if this is a reality, I feel as though I have lost my wits. this is not something that I came up with, it is starting to show up in others and is talked about among the doctors that treat us. I used remicade for approx 4 years and feel like it is a dangerous drug. It can work pretty good but would not take it on a regular basis. I will not take it again.

I have had similar side effects only after 2 infusions, 4 years later I have severe memory loss, mood swings. I almost died after the second infusion and was rushed to the hospital with a bp 50/40 they said I would have most definately died if I had not made it to the hospital in time.

I also have presence of kappa cells - precursor to myeloma and lymphoma.

I stopped the drug immediately.
