Nadia’s Remicade Infusion
December 4, 2009Our friend Nadia has a new set of videos up about her recent trip to get a Remicade infusion. For those who have never been on Remicade, her videos show the basic procedure for getting set up and infused with the medicine. Particularly interesting, yet frustrating, is the nurses’ attempts to start an IV with her small veins. How many of you have been in a situation where you were stuck multiple times with a needle just to get an IV started? Apparently, this is a regular occurrence for Nadia.
I wish her all the best luck and hope that this Remicade keeps her Crohn’s under control.
Keep fighting,

I always have the same situation, usually takes three times to get the vein to work, it’s so frustrating. But I’m not taking Remicade anymore, it worked really well keeping my UC under control, but my immune system was so wacked that I was getting sick with everything else. So I decided to stop, it was a hard decision because once you start you can’t go back on it. But for those that can tolerate it, it can be a real life changer.
