Crohn's Disease, Maintenance
"I have been on Remicade for nearly 4 years.  Prior to that I had a variety of Crohn&#039;s issues including two surgeries for peri-anal fistulas, severe fatigue and lots of other fun stuff.  I have been very lucky in that I have responded very well to the stuff and now most days I am fortunate enough to forget I have the disease.  I was apprehensive about potential side effects but to date have experienced none.  Prior to Remicade I took a few medications which did absolutely nothing but the Remicade had a pronounced effect within 24 hours of my first infusion.  If you have Crohn&#039;s or Colitis would seriously consider an anti TNF blocker (haven&#039;t used any of the others) and stay the hell away from steroids."
