This is very interesting. I have been on Enbrel for 8 weeks and it's not working how the dr wanted and I'm getting weird hives and bright red blotches at the injection site. So now he wants me on Remicade. With Enbrel my period was actually better! No PMS at all (and trust me on this I have BAD PMS bordering on PMDD) My flow was a bit lighter but I spotted longer then normal, which was a tad annoying but better considering the lighter flow.

I really hope the Remicade is the same! I had a hysterectomy scheduled due to dsymenorreah that was so bad I could feel which part of my lining was ripping off! It hurt so bad I felt like my whole uterus was being ripped out of my body. Last month was the best period I've had in three years!

An update, my first period after starting the remicade and yeow!!! Bad cramps yesterday, but not too much PMS beforehand. We'll see what happens next month!

Last month was bad, I got my period twice, but it turned out for the good because otherwise I'd have my period on our anniversary and now I won't!

Interestingly, my first period after the increased dosage was more like what it's been for much of my adult life. My second one verged on what it's been since starting Remicade, but still not so bad. Hmmmmm. Curiouser and Curiouser.

Hugs,


Kat
