I did have to delay some surgery until almost time to get the Remicade due to its affct on my immune system. The surgeon wanted by system to be strong as possible prior to surgery. Then the rheumatoligist made me wait until fully healed before restarting. I tried not taking Benadryl prior to the IV but started itching. So now I just take 2 Benadryl prior to the IV. I generally get a movie and sleep while it is playing on my laptop.

After my 1st treatment. I had a slight allergic reation at the end. I had a severe migrane for 3 days @ was unable to sleep. I still have nausea and feel like I have a cold. I have to take Benadryl before my 2nd treatment. Has anyone taken Benadryl before their treatments? Does the nausea go away?

After 15 minutes into the threatment I experienced difficulyt breathing, increased blood pressure(180/120)tightness in chest and sharp pain in chest through to my back and shoulder. I fear I will have to stop taking remicade and will end up back were I was walking with a cain and use of my wheel chair again. The cardio Drs say that my heart is fine and this is all a reaction to the remicade.
