I never thought that I would be saying this one day, but it seems that the old age is finally getting to me. I am 51 years old and up until now, I have never experienced any major problems concerning health. But now, it seems that I will have trouble with joints for the rest of my life. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and have tried several drugs, and none showed the effect I was hoping for. Can Remicade be used for Rheumatoid Arthritis? My friend is using it and it helps.

I would suggest you first to check out if you have some hidden infections. You have to be aware also that using of Remicade might slightly increase risk of cancer and some autoimmune disorders (such as lupus). Remicade is a type of drug that can lower your immune system level by reducing the number of blood cells that fight various infections. Well, these are all possibilities, as for its true effect, it is a medicament made for dealing with rheumatoid arthritis and it's doing that with a great success.
