How long do I have to wait for Remicade to work?

I've been flaring since June. Since then I have had five hospitalizations and three remicade infusions. My last, and third, infusion was this past Friday. (10/10) I'm still experiencing symptoms. Using the bathroom 5+ times a day and it's all liquid, I'm not retaining anything. Today a low grade fever popped up. Anyone with experience? Advice? I just want my life back...:poo:

Hi LyndseyB and welcome.

I'm new to Remicade myself (2 infusions) so I don't have any answers.

Sending you my support. I hope you get you're life back quickly.

I didn't feel different at all until infusion number 4 (which was 4 weeks after number 3, not 8 weeks ads usual, due to my lack of response). After number 4 I started feeling better.

It was the fourth infusion for me. I even had a hospital stay between the 3rd and 4th. hopefully soon you'll be getting better.

I have had 3 infusion so far and I was feeling better right after my 3rd dose. But now 1 month later I am feeling like crap again and going to the bathroom all the time. Waiting for my GI to get back to me tomorrow and hopefully I can go in early for another infusion.
