Well you can go up to 10 vials but you better have great insurance as it's not cheap.
I was on it for 7 1/2 years and it was Iike I didn't have the disease.

I am currently on remicade infusion. Yes it takes 3 hours. But I find it relaxing to sit back and veg out. They always give me coffee and a snack when they start and lunch before I leave. I feel like a new woman after the treatment. Unfortunately I think I am getting used to the dosage and will have to up the dosage or find something new. But I have had no side effects. I have been on this for two years. I have had no problems this is one of my favorite medicines so far. I dread trying something else.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask me specific questions and I will do my best to answer them all.

I'm on Remicade infusions along with methotrexate injections. Haven't been on for very long. But haven't had any bad side effects that I can tell of. Good luck

@A myRAteam Member he is wanting me to do them, I'm not ready to do infusions but he is being very pushy. I think it's to soon and I should try another biologic before a infusion that's what makes me so nervous.
Thanks everyone for your stories and advice! It helps so much!!
