Yes desperately need your help. First to explain we are a medical family, every one is a medical doctor but me! My daughter is a Dermatologist in practice with her dad, my husband. Here is the story. My daughter has chrones. Twelve years ago did have some intestines removed. So, trying to avoid surgery, her doc put her on remicade. She had 6 infusions taking every 8 weeks. Finally she began have serious joint pain. So her doc in Pittsburg said she needed to have infusions closer together. She opted to go cold turkey and get off the drug. It has been dreadful. Extreme joint pain that moves all over her body. By late afternoon it hits and nights are terrible. They ordered a special kit to check blood and she has had a dreadful reaction and big time antibodies...severe. Where can we find help...we can find no where information when will this get better...can you help?
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
