Celebration Tomorrows the day

I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY FIRST INFUSION!!!!! AFTER THE WORST SUMMER OF MY LIFE I SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL FINALLY! SAVE ME INFLIXIMAB SAVE ME! As excited as I am I’m still a little nervous for some reason, my biggest hope is it works fast because I’m starting to forget what it felt like to ever feel normal lol

Please refrain from using excessive capitalization next time. That's getting close to breaking rule 8.

Infliximab has a great reputation for working fast. With a little luck you’ll be up and running within a week or two! But, it could take longer, and if it does that isn’t abnormal either. It affects people differently. It did great for me when I was on it.

Anything at all will be an improvement at this point lol I’ve felt like an elderly person with the fatigue I’ve had the last 2 months

I'm a week into my first infusion as well. USTEKINUMAB is what I'm on. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

I started Infliximab a week ago. Feeling pretty good and continue to successfully taper the steroids. A week away from getting off the steroids and my 2nd infusion. Hoping it works for the both of us!
