I have a co-worker whose son started getting Remicade last winter. He has Crohn's disease and according to her, his RA is a result of having Crohns. The treatments are very expensive, but they applied and were approved for financial assistance, perhaps from the drug company? Anyway, at first he received more than one treatment is quick succession, and now gets a treatment every 6-8 weeks. Here is the good news: her son's health has VASTLY improved. He is the owner of a home improvement business where he builds decks and puts up siding and garage dorrs and the like. He can fully function today at all of these activities with the aid of Remicade.

I hope this helps you. Good luck!

Thanks TbV.

Yeah, it's good to hear the good stuff. We're a nit intrepid and these kind of testimonials really help one gravitate toward the treatment in a positive way ~ which might be beneficial as to looking to it as a potential last resort.

Still ~ the long terms are an issue.

Thanks for the feedback,
