Last summer I had a bad flare and it was decided I start Remicade. By the time I had my first treatment that fall, I was feeling pretty good again. Right after treatment 3 on Nov 30, my Crohn's started acting up again and hasn't improved. Before treatment #4 in late January, they took blood to test my levels. 7 is the maintenance level. I was 1.2 which is barely detectable. They also didn't find any antibodies in my system. So they are upping my next dose from 300ml to 500ml and that is mid-March.
I am really hoping this next dose works next time. Has anyone been down a similar road where after a few treatments Remicade wasn't working, saw their levels were really low and a higher dose made a difference?
