I've been on Remicade for 3 years now and I've been in complete remission for around 2 years 6 months. I take 500mg which is a dose of around 7.5mg per kg of body weight.
When I was first diagnosed in 2009 all I could think about every day was finding something that would work and allow me to return to a semi-normal life. Now that I've been in remission for an extended period of time days go by where I don't even think about Crohn's. I'm fortunate enough to live a life largely unaffected by my diagnosis.
I wanted to say that to generate hope for those of you that haven't yet found your path to remission and to make myself available for questions for those of you new to Remicade or curious about it. So please, if you have anything you'd like to ask please go ahead and I'll try to respond as quickly as I can.
