Ic and Ra now taking remicade
Ic and RA taking Remicade
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have had Ic for overr 20 years and the last 10 it has been pretty much okay, then I hit menopause and needed added vaginal estrogen and that hleped. I have been on methotrexate and enbrel for 11 years for my Rheumaoitd arthritis, it has stopped working the enbrel that is, so dr switched me to Remicade, I could feel it bothering my bladder as I had the iv infusion for over 3 hours. On day three after it by the worst flare I have ever had. I can not say for sure it was the remicade but becasue one of the side effects can be bladder infections I assumed it was from that.
The dr disagrees.
Has anyone else used remicade while having IC?
Thanks
Becky
