So I was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2011 and I’ve been on Remicade since then as well. I recently switched doctors because my previous one retired, and at my first infusion with my new doctor I only received 390mg when I am supposed to be getting 800mg… (long story short, it has been a CIRCUS trying to figure out how/why this mistake was made, but here we are🤦🏻‍♀️). I got this last infusion on July 12, and since July 31 I have been in the bed with low grade fever, bad body aches and headaches, and extreme fatigue. I have also tested negative for Covid. Could this be an immune response due to the lack of medicine in my system? I would ask my doctor but it’s near impossible to get in touch with him🥲(hence why all this has been a nightmare).

      Youre certainly having an immune response with those symptoms. I would get blood work to check for remicade antibodies.

      Remicade was the first medication I was on. It failed me after 2 years, but during the time I started developing antibodies we were messing with doses. Then my next to last dose was delayed due to holidays. Basically what I’m saying is my last 3 remicade infusions were a disaster. Failing and missed intervals. My body freaked out in many ways. Messing with the schedule is awful.

        @Screename oh goodness I’m so sorry! I’ve been on it all these years but this is the first change in schedule. Did you have any symptoms like these^ ?
