Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION OVERVIEW: Remicade (infliximab) is an autoimmune disorder drug known as a Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Blocker. It is approved by the FDA for treatment of psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. It was the first TNF antagonist available in the United States, and has been used by more patients world-wide than the other medications in the same class, Enbrel and Humira, combined. It is a blockbuster drug for the pharmaceutical giant, Johnson & Johnson. REMICADE CANCER SIDE EFFECTS: In 2004, a warning letter was sent to healthcare professionals indicating that Remicade had been associated with more cases of lymphoma among patients receiving the drug. A study published in the May 17, 2006 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that Remicade side effects could triple the risk of developing cancer. In June 2008, the FDA released an early communication about an ongoing safety review involving Remicade and a possible association with the development of lymphoma and other cancers among children and young adults and a Remicade black box cancer warning was added in August 2009. At least 30 reports of childhood cancer were received by the FDA involving the use of TNF blockers. Other medications indicated in this early communication were Humira and Enbrel. According to Johnson & Johnson, among children taking Remicade, most of the reports of juvenile cancer involved those treated for the bowel disorder Crohn’s disease. Approximately half of the cancers seen in all children and young adults taking TNF blockers were lymphomas, including both Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which is a cancer of cells in the immune system. Lymphoma is not a recognized complication of JIA (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis) or of Crohn’s disease. Other cancers reported included leukemia, melanoma and solid organ cancers. REMICADE FUNGAL INFECTIONS: A number of users who were receiving TNF blockers, such as Remicade, have experienced fungal infections, such as histoplasmosis, blastomycosis and cocciioidmycosis. In several of these cases the infection resulted in death. In September 2008, the FDA issued an alert to healthcare providers to provide new information about the risk of Remicade fungal infections. At that time the agency also indicated that new information will be added to the Remicade black box warning to ensure that doctors and consumers are aware of the risk, especially for those who live in or visit areas where fungus is prevalent. Unfortunately, many cases of fungal infections from Remicade go undiagnosed by doctors, since the symptoms are similar to the flu. Symptoms could include cough, fever, fatigue, loss of weight, sweating and shortness of breath.

I have asked as well, no on will touch the case… KARIN July 9, 2012 I was put on Remicade in 2008. Within 5 infusions, I was in a full blown allergic reaction. I now have Autoimmune Hepatitis (my ALT got to 331) listed by my doctor as caused by Remicade. I developed serum sickness, RA, and other such illnesses. This drug is a nightmare!!! I hope the makers of this sleep well at night, as I have shortened my life by using your product!!! JAYANTA June 29, 2012 I have been under treatment in INDIA for presence of HLA-B27 (+) ; low blood count at 2800 and TB. Doctors have prescribed me for Biologic treatment . Infliximab Remicade as well as bone marrow biopsy.My 3 rd dose of infliximab remicade becomes dues on 8.7.12 but there is no improvement. Continuous deterioration with huge pain. Kindly let me know whether I will recover with this. Doctors here mention that it is not curable.This is a nuisance disease and puzzles all. Treatment is lifelong and very expensive. kindly let me know whether this cures Spondyloarthotities and how to avail the same. There is also eye corneal damage to occur with ankylosing spondylitis although it is not unusual for there to be inflammation in the front of the eye known as iritis. I am told that this would generally recover with Infliximab. Infliximab remicade is so far not effective. Doctor mentions that after 15 sessions ( so far only 2) this will be arrested but not curable.However, it is not a cure and if the Infliximab is withdrawn it is very likely that the symptoms will return. Lifelong (and expensive) treatment is therefore a MUST. Medical fraternity is reportedly await the developments of new treatments that will truly be curative. I have been in touch with America + Boston + Oxford + Netharland based Johnson Co BUT NO HOPE SO FAR. I am tolf to opt for spiritual life and it is Almighty to address the inner call. I am frustrated. Doctors mentions about suicidal attempt ; hence be cautious. I can not digest any meal except liquid. Fran June 28, 2012 I’ve been taking Remicade since 2001 for my RA, every 6 weeks with methyltrexate 7.5 mg a week. I’ve had the best rheumatologist, who took blood labs religiously and chest x rays and mammography’s to be sure everything was clear of infections. I started taking this drug before the warnings on anything came out – only infections were common. This May, I was diagnosed with a very, very rare form of lymphoma – tied expressly to Remicade; it’s still quite mild and not of an immediate concern. I was also diagnosed at the same time with a small cancerous lung nodule, which has rapidly spread since it’s discovery in May, and is now at stage 3. My lung cancer doc (specialist at a large research university) states this is a direct result of my Remicade also. I have 2 cancers from Remicade. I may die from using Remicade. DO NOT USE THIS MEDICATION! If you know anyone who is using it – please tell them to stop – now! No one ever mentioned anything like this ever possibly happening – the literature when I started did not have this in it. I did have a MRSA and 2 cellulitus infections a few years ago also. The Remicade stopped my RA so well, it was like a dream. Now I am living a true nightmare of wondering if I am going to make it or not. I am now 54 years old. Don’t take this stuff – don’t be seduced. LARRY June 26, 2012 I HAVE HAD CHRONES SINCE 1976 AND HAVE BEEN ON PREDNISONE MAINTENANCE DOSE OF 15MG PER DAY AND DEVELOPED A VERY BAD CASE OF PSORISIS.

When my rhuematololgist wanted to switch from treating the disease to pain management, we sought different treatment. We have been on an antifungal diet for three years and I am in better shape than I ever was during the remicade treatments. Check out knowthecause.com I am a walking poster child for that program. I have occaisional aches and pains from my joints but it is very minimal compared to what I was suffering when first diagnosed. My insulin usage (remember I no longer have all of my pancreas) has been reduced by half. Before the diet, I was taking 80mg of Vitorin per day for high clorestoral. I now take 80mg per week. Even my eyesight has improved (as of my last eye exam) I dropped 40 lbs in the first year and have been at a plateu since. The amazing part is there are no cravings. I highly recommend to anyone suffering from any auto immune disease. It is, at least, worth investigating. Johanne June 5, 2012 I am so sorry for each and every one of your losses. Today, my doctor convinced me to start Remicade!!! Waiting on Insurance to Ok it. I am a 49 year old mother of 4 boys about to become Grandma for the first time and I have R.A. but after reading all this, I am totally horrified!!!! I also had a heart attack at 38 so cardiac issues follow me. Guess one has to just live with this terrible pain. Very Depressing to say the least. I’m so sad for all your problems that this drug has caused you on top of your original diagnose. Yet, they keep pushing it!!! heather June 5, 2012 Well had a full body rash head to toe following last remicade infusion. It was awful. Took over a month to get rid of and had to go on steroids. I can never take remicade again and never will it literally ruined my skin. Wondering what drug others found successful after discontinuing remicade for their crohns. John May 30, 2012 This is to Regina. I am truly sorry to hear about your mother. Let me tell you my story. In December of 2000 I went to the emergency room thinking that I had, somehow, broken my left hand. It was horribly swollen. Xrays confirmed there was no break and I was told to just ice it and sent home. On the follow up with my primary doctor he referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. After 4 months of physical therapy with no relief I decided to hit the web for an answer. It did not take long to deterimine I was suffering from Psoriatic Arthritis which was described as a very aggressive form of Arthritis. I immediately contacted my doctor and he referred me to a rhuemetologist who confirmed my self diagnosis. He suggested I go on Remicade treatments paired with methotrexate, My first Remicade treatment was in August of 2001 and the results were amazing. At the time, my only side effect was extreme fatigue immediately following the infusion. In December of 2002 I contracted “walking” Pnuemonia and in May of 2003 a CT scan was taken as a follow up to make sure my lungs were clear. In that scan a tumor was found in my pancreas which was confirmed via MRI and Nuclear scans later. I had surgery to remove the tumor along with most of my pancreas and my spleen. I had a post op infection that almost killled me and was hospitalized for 13 additional weeks and put on an IV antibiotic regimen that lasted an additional two months. I eventually had to have a second surgery to remove the infected “debris”. After a marginal recovery, I was placed back on remicade and continued until I contracted a MRSA infection in 2009 and was rushed into emergency surgery. As a result of that infection I was told I could no longer have Remicade treatments and our treatment focus will be switched to pain management. Through a friend, my wife found an anti fungal diet that was said to help Arthritis sufferers. We began that diet in August of 2009 and I am pleased to tell you that I feel better now than I did while taking the infusions. It wasn’t until I read your post that I began to realize the connection between Remicade and the cancer. I am very blessed. That tumor was discovered very early and while the suggeston of cause and effect is strong, I have no doubt about the drugs role in the post op infection. Tina May 30, 2012 I was put on Remicade over 12 years ago for Chrons and rheumatiode arthritis . My story is very similar to Lori’s dated March 29.2012. I would love just to talk to her. Would you please be good enough to forward to information on to her. Thank you. Tina Lori March 29, 2012 Hi my name is Lori and I have had arthritis since 1996 and has spread to all my joints. It took several years for the doctors to diagnose me, so from going untreated for a while I lost 80% of mobility in my joints and developed some deformities in my fingers and elbows. The doctors explained to me my problems would not get any better as far as my range of motion and deformities but medicine would keep it from worstening. After trying Humira, Embrel and others, I was put on remicade in 2005/2006 and it seemed to work the best for me. I have been receiving the remicade treatments since then until recently. I was unhappy with my current rheumatologist, because my appointment every 6 months would last no longer than 5 minutes and I was afraid my body wasn’t being monitored close enough. For the last year and a half I had been getting dry patches on my elbows and they would go away once I got my infusion, the doctor told me it was psoriasis which was normal with arthritis patients. When I transferred to my new doctor, I missed my infusion, I was ready to just start over and do what a new doctor recommended, while waiting on getting into see the new doctor I started getting a rash with blisters on my hands and they hurt and swelled and itched, almost looks like I was severly burned now. My new doctor sent me to a dermatologist who told me it looked like the remicade had caused me to get the Psoriatic arthritis/psoriasis. I told him I thought that was part of arthritis and he said it is common, but signs that the disease is induced by the medicine is when the spots are on the palm of hand and foot. It has been a month now and I have spots on my palms of my hands, outside of hands, between finers, up my arms, crease of elbows, back of elbows, stomache, legs, ankles, scalp, it has spread everything and is very devestating. I am 28 years old and have dealt with the looks of my deformities, how I walk, sit, etc and have coped and lived with it and have tried to keep confidence and my head up. Now this medicine I have been taking to prevent these things from getting worst has caused another type of arthritis and is ruining my skin. I am terrified to try a new medicine with fears of what it may cause next, I am terrified not to be on medication, I dont want to be a vegetable! Not only are these spots hideous, but are painful, making it hard to walk and work! I work in a prison and I am scared of infections I could get on my hands since it is raw skin. Has this happened to anyone, sorry just vented!!!! Heather March 23, 2012 I am 31 and was dx with Crohn’s Disease a little over 2 yrs ago. Many meds didn’t work and 6MP came to a toxic level in my body so I was taken off of it. Remicaide was one of my last choices, and it does appear to be a miracle drug, as I can eat and live pain free and sleep at night and do activities again, but reading these comments scare me. I get Remicaide every 3 weeks because my Crohns is so bad, but having infusions this regularly scares me. I have only had 6 infusions so far and am starting to have bad skin problems that Ive never had before but no other side effects. Did anyone else get bad skin problems? Also, was anyone else getting infusions every 3 wks, because it seems like a bit much to me nd makes me nervous. Regina February 16, 2012 Kelly, I’m sorry about your father and really sorry you didn’t about the deadly side effects of this drug. That why I’ve been trying so hard to get the word out to people and let them know that is drug is very dangerous and I know it the only drug out there for certain diseases, but it will kill you in the end. Sharon, As I stated above this is a very dangerous drug, please, please discontinue it’s use and try to find something else. Yes, I know we all have to leave this world some day, but why rush. Sharon February 13, 2012 I was on Remicade for approx. 4yrs for chrons disease, although I got relief from the disease, I was down at least 4 days after the infusion, tired,weak and just generally not feeling well. I would then get Infections from respitory to sepsis urinary infections to having MRSA. There is not much hope from getting away from these types of drugs it seems that it is all that is avalible for us that have tried everything else. Kelly February 4, 2012 My father was given Remicade for his Rhumatoid Arthrits 5 years ago. He is now in the final stage Alzehimers with Dementia at the age of 63. The doctors believe that it was brought on by the Remicade. I am looking for others who have developed Dementia because of this drug.

Again, my condolences. David Banks FDA Office of Special Health Issues Regina January 9, 2012 My mother had rheumatoid arthritis. She started Remecaid infusion treatments in 2008. She had lived in Chicago, Illinois, and received treatments from a facility name MIDC Laboratory in Crestwood, Illinois. She started slowly wasting away, each visit to doctor we told them that she wasn’t eating and her memory was going, but they said it was due to her age. My mother was only 78 and was very bright and alert before her treatments. She became very sick and we took her to the emergency room November 6, 2009, told us she had cancer. This was very hard on us, we couldn’t believe it because there was any history of cancer in our family. My mother died November 14, 2009 of pancreatic cancer. I started looking researching, I needed to know what possibly caused her to have cancer. I looked up all the medication she was taking, all the foods etc., and then as plain as day REMICADE. The I needed to know why the FDA hasn’t taken it off the market, Europe has forbidden it! How many people has to died before it is removed ! Did you know that most of the facility administer this drug without a doctor being present, nurses are the ones who administer this drug. If there was a doctor there and her vitals where being taken correctly, then they should have detected something was terrible wrong before it went to far. We need to fight to get this drug removed in the US Anne January 6, 2012 My mother had rheumatoid arthritis. She started Remecaid treatments in 2009. She had lived in the Mississippi River Valley and so I am not sure why the doc suggested this drug to her. Sometimes she said she felt a lot better. We *her children* actually asked her not to take it because she had so many side effects and within a year it wasn’t giving the best relief anymore. She had lots of infections on this drug. She was sick all the time and weak as a kitten. She had moved to Oklahoma some years prior to starting the drug. One week she got a lung infection which she thought was just “bronchitis” My brother in law insisted she go to the hospital after which she said “Okay, but they won’t keep me.” They did. She was in ICU within hours. No antibiotic was working to clear up the infection and she had a TIA while in the hospital. The one doctor wanted to test for histoplasmosis but, by that time she was so sick in ICU she began asking to go home on hospice. My mother died within two weeks of first being taken to the hospital. On January 15th of 2011 she was fine and by Feb. 10 she had died. She got histoplasmosis from taking Remecaid. Do NOT take this drug. It kills people and certain physicians are pushing it as a cure all for autoimmune diseases. It’s not. Two weeks after my mothers death I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis. I will never take this “miracle drug” If not for that drug, my mother would be alive today. No one who has ever lived in the Mississippi River Valley should be on this. No doctor should EVER have administered it. Steve L January 3, 2012 I was on remicade until I had an allergic reaction. It had no benifits for my crohns. My vision got terrible. Last week I was diagnosed with severe cataracts and scheduled for surgery. I am 59 years old. Catherine December 20, 2011 After reading all of the above posts I am convinced that I should not even begin a course of treatment with Remicade! As with any drug, if the side effects out weigh the benefit(s)…it should not even be considered viable! reza December 8, 2011 My wife was first diagnosed with spondyloarthropay and her rheuma prescribed hede.r with Enbral and then Remictad. My wife immediatly after her first injection started with some neurological symptoms along with many other. She started having severe muscle contractions, unable to walk with rigity. frequent episods of attacks, both legs and arms with stonge unvolentary spasm. I had to take her to John Hopkins and Mayo clinic to neurologists. They said her sypmtoms are not due to Remicade but i dont believe so . Is there anyone with these side effects due to remicade or enbral. These symptoms are disabling me and my wife. Tracy December 3, 2011 For Linda, Well you happen to be one of the lucky ones thus far. Read my posts back in April and March of last year. I went on for psoriasis as well but thankfully I am not that bad. The remicade did clear me up however I came down with severe joint pain and drug induced Lupus. I have been off the drug for almost 2 years-thankfully. Continue good luck to you and hope they find a cure for psoriasis and the other auto immune diseases. Linda M December 1, 2011 I find these posts very interesting, but also very disturbing. I’ve been taking Remicade for 6 yrs now (for severe psoraisis) and have had absolutely no side effects, unlike all other drugs I tried before. To me, it’s been a miracle drug. However, I’ve developed problems breathing and a recent visit to my primary care doctor has resulted in him ordering a ct scan with a diagnosis of lung nodules. Found this site because I was curious if others had experienced this and I see some have, so I’ll pass that info on to him. Just wanted to say… don’t be too scared of the side effects. Regardless of the risks, it’s been a lifesaver for many people I’ve shared stories with while we were receiving infusions. Like anything else, it can be a blessing for some… a curse for others. God bless you all… and let’s keep hoping for a cure for these auto-immune disorders. kristy f November 15, 2011 For Amanda above. The doctors pushed us to do Humira and then the remicade as well And the one doctor even commented to my Fiance that he started the humira injections today so even though his cat scans showed two places that needed surgery to take them for a few months becasue they were over a thousand dollars an injection. All I could think was he must be getting a kick back. My fiance ended up in the hospital with pleuresy pnemonia and muscle weakness and such severe pain from his chrohns that we were lucky the local hospital was tired of seeing him and pushed the surgeon to see him. When they opened him up it was like nothing shown on the scans or xrays they had to cut out over 25lbs and it was like cement was the surgeons words. He was left with 11/2 foot of colon. We desperately did not want to try remicade later that dr. decided not to see him anymore when he refused repeatedly. Then when he switched they pushed too telling us we had run out of options to try and slow down the chrohns. I would not take it because that same dr. also told another patient after 2 hours waiting to be seen that since he did not have insurance anymore even though they had the cash to pay for the visit that he was a professional and would not treat him. I believe most of the doctors are after the money and its rare to find one who is good or cares. Keep looking for one though and these TNF blockers cause more pain and suffering than the initial disease they are treating. My fiance is 38 and with everything he now has and what he has still unknown watching him shake and go through those episodes broke my heart. I couldn’t imagine suffering like that and don’t know how he hasn’t given up yet. kristy f November 15, 2011 I forgot he also has a stiff sore neck and a sore throat now along with joint pain in every part of his body. kristy f November 15, 2011 My fiance was diagnosed with Chrohn’s in 2001. Last year he was started on Humira injections for not quite 2 weeks he developed Pleuresy, muscle weakness and pnemonia. Right after he had to have a major colonectomy surgery. He only has 1and 1/2 foot of colon left now. He develpoed shingles as well right after that surgery. He did decently with a few issues for a few months then it became active again. They told us no other choices but a colostomy or remicade since none of the meds were working that he had tried. They said even if the remicade would slow it down. So we reluctently sid okay. In April he started remicade infusions 2 weeks then 4 then most recently 8 weeks apart. At this momen he is lying in the hospital with an underlying Ghrohns flare, C diff and now c diff colitis, and Shingles on his forehead, fluid on the left side and a pleuritic epeusion which is bad but not the least of his problems. At this moment he has received 4 units of blood in two day appearntly from bleeding in his stool his hemoglobin dropped but now they are unsure because it tests negative. We are hoping it doesn’t keep dropping. And they are testing now for meningitis, enciphilitis, fungal infections, listeria, hystoplasmosis and about 12 other diseases and infections. He is having shakes where his body just trembles and quakes while he can not control it. Then chills and cold spells before high high fevers which have had to have the limit of tylenol and ib profen with him not able to have more becasue it could be toxic. Then after the fevers severe sweats to oak him and the bed and clothes repeatedly before gagging naseau and vomitting that 3 sets of doctors teams of doctors at WVU have not been able to figure out the cause yet. This has been ongoing since Wednesday last week. They have internal medicine the gi department and now infectious disease scratching there heads. I am afraid more terrified he may not come home this time. We have a 12 year old and a nine year old. They need there father and I would never wish to see anyone suffer like this. I would not advise anyone to take these TNF blockers without thought to what may come later. Sandy November 2, 2011 My mother took remicade for a time . At first they said she developed bladder cancer. Then they decided it wasn’t. Her bladder was so far gone from the treatments of remicade she had to have it removed. Ragena November 1, 2011 hi my 3yr olds doctors wanna start her on Remicade.but after seeing all this im stuck..im so scared cause nothhing els is working.. Rick October 12, 2011 My son is 18. He was diagnoised with Chrons about 3 months ago. He just started Predinsone this past weekend and the doctor wants him to start Remicade in three weeks. After reading these comments today. There is NO WAY we will ever get on this medicine. We will take our chances with a strict diet. There may be discomfort but at least he will be able to live without all of the pain caused by Remicade. Thanks so much for having the courage to post your stories. It may have just save my childs life. Patty September 25, 2011 My Crohn’s disese recently flared. I was so desperate I went online looking for answers. I found “Breaking the Vicious Cycle” author Elaine Gotschall on Youtube describing the anguish her 8 year old daughter had experienced with the disease. Her quest to help her child is amazing. Worth checking out. In my desperation I tried the diet and it worked for me. Also, an Australian doctor, Thomas Borody has had impressive success with a three antibiotic cocktail to kill mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis he says, along with other experts, causes Crohn’s My doctors want me to begin Remicade. I will not consider it since reading your posts. Thanks a million. Sheila September 20, 2011 I was put on Remicade about 7 years ago. I thought i found the answer to my arthritis. I am 67 years old now. This past March 2011 I had one stroke which put me in the hospital and two more while I was there. I need to be semi-retired now because I can no longer do the work. I have been sickened by Humira and Embril since then. I wonder if there is a drug that can help and not harm. I do not think Predisenone is the answer. I have great pain, fevers, and sweating. Monica August 28, 2011 I am reading your posts & can’t stop crying! I was misdaignosed with RA & was taking remicade & methotrexiate. I became so ill and was finally disgnosed with a rare small intestinal caner that has destroyed my life. I can’t work anymore & I am in pain everyday. The makers of this drug must be made to pay for so many lives they have destroyed. PLEASE stop taking this drug before you get cancer like me (no family history) I also had positive ANA, nodules in my lungs, joint pain, stomach pain, brusitis in hip on side given injections and damage to spine and neck!! Diane August 17, 2011 My husband took 3 doses of Remicade in 2004. His platelet count was zero and he was put on prednisone his whole blood count was low. The doctors kept “adjusting” his prednisone but it did no good. He died of intestinal blockage ( he had chrons disease ) in January of 2005 for which he had several surgeries. PLEASE do not take this drug, it is bad business.!!! Daniel July 2, 2011 My son aged 7 passed away last March after suffering severe brain damage. He was on Remicade to treat his Uveitis and when he got chicken pox it took his life as this drug severely lowers the immune system and the doctors could not save him. My wife and I are now investigating what could have been done to prevent his death and why did doctors have no clue as to how to treat a case like this, which according to them, is the first patient that was been treated with Remicade and died after getting chicken pox. My son was a completely healthy and normal kid. He only developed Uveitis over a year back and was almost healed thanks to this “miracle drug”. However, though I am sure Remicade has its benefits, when a drug takes lives, no matter what the profits, it should be investigated and the public should have full disclosure of all the risks involved. Cindy June 28, 2011 I was on Remicade. With all of these medical issues, why is there no lawsuit against Remicade. Please I would love to talk to some of you. Maybe just maybe we can all get together and file a Class action lawsuite against this terrible drug.. One person they will not listen to, but a Village of people, Johnson & Johnson will have no choice Mike June 24, 2011 Remicade filled me with infection, gave me a heart attack and I was put on life support for 3 weeks and giving a 10% chance to live. I was one of the lucky ones, yet I still suffer from the illkness. I weighted 225 lbs when the remicade got me and 160 lbs when I was wheeled out after a 43 day stay in the hospital. I had a lawyer call and take my case and after two and a half years he gave up. I quess my life is not worth shit to those bunch oh SOBs at Johnson and Johnson. Debra June 22, 2011 My mother took Remicade for Chrons and developed a rare cancer (only 5 cases reported each year) the second they found out she was on Remicade they stoipped it. Unfortunately it was stage 4 too late, they operated but the cancer came right back in 3 weeks and she died. Upon further research I learned that the majority of people who contacted the cancers were Chron’s patients. They have known Remicade kills and still they put allow people to die anyway. It’s basically a trade off, either deal with the Chrons and be miserable or feel better for 5 or 6 years then get CANCER. ANY DOCTOR WHO CAN SAY IT “IT’S RARE TO GET CANCER DOESN;T DESERVE TO BE A DR.” They are not God and remicade does kill. I want to help get this product off the sheves they need to find other options, 57,000 people a year die from prescription drugs… Bryan April 18, 2011 My wifes Dr. has prescribed Remicade treatment for her Crohns disease. She has been dealing w/ it since 1985 when she had an Ileostomy due to her disease. She was diagnosed w/ Osteonecrosis due to Prednisone tratment back in the 80s. She’s 45 now and we are both scared to death about the side affects. She has always fallen into the 1% catagory of people who have the severe or unusual side affects of the drugs she takes. I’m so scared for her but there doesn’t seem to be any other options. Are there any suggestions anyone has for us. We are desperate for relief…. Marial February 8, 2011 I started Remicaid in early 2008. My doctor reassured me that the chances of my developing cancer were rare. I was concerned because all 3 of the biological had the same side effects. The problem with this drug is that it does make your RA pain go away. I was 3 weeks late with one infusion once because of a cold and by the 3rd week all my joints were inflamed. I found out in June of 2009 that I’d developed breast cancer out of the blue. There was no family history and in 2008 when I had my mammogram everything was great. My cancer spread pretty fast into Stage IV. I had the lumpectomy, etc and the thought from my primary doctor and the 2nd opinion doc was that they were not sure that Remicaid actually caused the cancer but they were positive that because of the Remicaid it spread like wildfire and that it should not have happened the way that it did. I’m currently in talks with lawyers about it but if anyone out there reads this, BEWARE…DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG FOR ANY REASON. There are 5 drugs in the biological family and ALL OF THEM CAUSE CANCER. What are the drug companies doing these days creating drugs that might fix one thing but kill you also. Diane February 5, 2011 My mother is lying in an I.C.U.. with “lupus” and a severe lung infection right now due to remicaid. She cannot breathe and is on loads of oxygen and yet is not able to even talk. She is very close to death from this drug. Do NOT take remicaid!! She has has had stroke like symptoms since being admitted to I.C.U. which could be due to very low oxygen or swelling of her vascular system *lupus* and I am certain beyond a doubt this is all because of the remicaid. If she dies from this drug I will sue the doctor who gave it to her without proper warning of what might happen AND the drug company. Cristy February 1, 2011 I am 37 years old and have taken Remicade for a year now. At the drug was a wnoder drug, I felt so much better and felt I had my life back. After 6 months on the drug, started having weird bumps and rashes, to one infection after another. Four the last 4 months, I have suffered the worst musccle pains and swelling in the muscles. I have been to my Rhemulatologist and complained, instead he moved me from 8 weeks to 6 weeks. Once he started treati;ng me every 6 weeks, my life has been horrible, I hurt so bad in my joints and muscles. I get the worst knots in my muscles and can’t hardly walk. I feel every ball joint on my body is too tender to touch. I am due for another treatment in February and have decided to stop taking this drup. It is ruining my life and I am convinced that all my problems are rooted to this drup. Throat muscles hurt all the time, the list goes on and on. I am very frustrated and wondering where to go to for help. I have no idea how long I will suffer these nasty side effects, but I do know this drug is no wonder drug after so many treatments. If anyone is reading this and may start taking this drug, I highly recommend not taking it. It will only make life hell for you. Angel January 27, 2011 my mom has been off remacaid for 2 years but was on it for 10 or more years she was just diag. with larges granular lymphocytic leukemia and there is no cure its one of the side effects from this drug we live day to day now shes only 63 im 44 I need my mother shame on remacaid and there makers pls I am on board for a class action lawsuit they need to pick up the bills for all that u all and my mother has to pay for o and by the way my mother has no insurance pls if anyone knows anything let me know you all are in my prayers pls keep my mother in yours ty for reading and sharing your storys may God Bless you all cindy January 23, 2011 i have been on remicade since it first came out for my R/A. I have complained all along that my front teeth will ache from time to time while on it over the years. The ache goes away eventually but it hurts and it is bothersome. Interesting thing now is I have had root canals in three of my front teeth in the past year. You cant tell me its not the Remicade. I also have chronic bladder infections. Last year I had 14 separate infections, so far in jan of 2011 i have had two this month. So I will be talking to my doctor this coming week regarding these side effects and whatelse i could take that doesnt damage my liver. Anyone else plagued with aching teeth and chronic bladder infections? Tracy January 1, 2011 Bryan, No one will take the lawsuit…I have checked..For some unknown reason they are protecting Centocor (makers of Remicade). I still get joint pain to this day after being off the drug since Feb 2010…and didn’t experience any joint pain prior to going on the drug protocol but I am glad that I got off and had the foresight when I did. Bryan December 30, 2010 Lilly, GET OFF the Remicade, I can’t really tell you anything that all the post prior to mine has not already told you. I experienced all the joint pain , it seemed to migrate from one joint to another, jaw, neck, shoulders, even had a few days where I could not walk, very scary medicine. I ended up with Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and had both my hips replaced at the age of 41. Even after the hip replacement there is not a day goes by that I do not suffer from joint pain, usually ankles , wrist and shoulders. I can not believe that there is nothing we can do, so many people have had their lives ruined or drastically changed by this medicine. We need a class action lawsuit, but finding an attorney that will help us would be a feat in itself.
