My experience with Remicade has not been good. On one hand it did help with the crohns. On the other I developed weakness and tingling in my arms and legs, joint pain, ankle swelling, I have difficulty walking now. I also have numbness on the side of my face and occasional sharp chest pain. I find I am very depressed. I'm at my wits end. It is horrible bing in constant pain. I'm thinking of just going it alone without any medical help. I was better off as a 117 pound, 5-'9" lady with only crohns to worry about. Sure swallowing anything felt like glass but it beats this.
