Remicade
by diane4623, Apr 23, 2009 10:47AM
My 36-yr old daughter has been dx'ed with RA. She has been on Prednisone (now 20 mg day - has been up to 60 mg) and Methotrexate (20 mg wk - 8 of the 2.5 mg pills), and Folic Acid. We just went to a med center rheumy who started her on Remicade infusion. She's had only one of those so far - no noticeable difference yet. Do you know how long it may take to see results from the Remicade???? And, I forgot to ask her rheumy this, but, maybe you know - why Remicade as opposed to Enbrel or Humira? (Oh - her test results are: Her C-Reactive protein has been as high as 168. Sed rate is 28. ANA is 1:320. RPR is non-reactive. AVISE MCV results are <20.)
