Remicade was the first one I went on after I got locked up and couldn't move. It's given via a drip and you will have to spend a few hours in hospital. They will probably tell you a couple of hours but be prepared for most of the day
I must say I loved it, it gave me a whole new lease of life and not long after the first session too. However for some reason I had a bit of a reaction to it and had to come off, went onto Humira and the reaction got worse, ended up in hospital for a week looking like a lobster. Ended up going onto Stelara but it's not working as well as it did.
I would say well worth a go especially if you have psoriatic arthritis. More info on Remicade and other Bio's here: Biological Treatments For Psoriasis
Remember to take a book or some music with you.
Let us know how you get on.
