I have severe RA. I was crippled and had to use two canes to walk before treatment. I have had a wonderful experience since the infusions started a year ago. I still have some pain in my shoulders and legs but I can enjoy life again. I sometimes have a flare up but not severe. Thank you Dr. Chesner!

I only got to the third infusion then it made my heart beat rapidly from normal to 160 bpm (resting there in a chair) and the nurses immediately stopped the IV called my dr then and wheeled me to the ER. I stayed at the ER for many hours and then I went home. I did not see any long term side effects, but my dr said he would not give it to me due to my reaction.

This treatment ended me up in the hospital for 32 days (13 in intensive care) put on life support. Affected my lungs so bad that the doctors did not think I would live.They took a lung biopsy and found no bacteria or virus. Remicade definitely caused me to almost die. I had go to a rehab for 17 days and after almost 6 months I am still on oxygen. This drug is deadly. I will never take another rheumatoid medicine as long as I live. Homeopathic is what I am doing and I am doing quite well.
