S'up? - New guy here

Hi everyone, new guy here. Thought i should introduce myself.

I am a university student who was diagnosed with Crohn's around 6 months ago and was quickly put on Infliximab. I have had 4 infusions now and so far have had zero visible side-effects.
If anyone wants any advice on what it's like to get an infusion or has any other questions, feel free to ask.

Chin up and good luck with everything:thumleft:
 
Yeah, hopefully he responds well to it like I have.

For me the procedure was very straight-forward and easy. He may feel his arm go a little cold as the Remicade goes in but other than that i didn't feel a thing.

I would recommend bringing along something to keep him busy while it happens though...it can be a pretty boring procedure! :boring::thumleft:
