I have been on it for two months due to severe psoriatic arthritis. I'm taking the max infusions every four weeks, methotrexate injections and prednisone. I'm tired, sleepy, sweaty and somewhat nuts a lot. However, after last week infusion, I have some type of rash-little red dots that feel like pin pricks that itch somewhat. I feel like a thousand fleas are attacking me all at one time! Has anyone had this type of feeling? PLEASE reply-it is driving me nuts.

You should not be taking methotrexate and remicade it can increase risk for myeloma and lymphomas.

You are having an allergic reaction to the medication. It can get worse.

Yes, I have had them on my arms and hands. They look and acted like chicken pox. Tiny red, itchy and blisterd bite like spots. They also took a while to heal. Thanks for making this point. I figured it was just me!
