    Hi Randy,

    Welcome back. Remicade is approved for several different autoimmune conditions. I do not believe it is currently approved for treatment of Wegner's, but many drugs are used off label. My daughter used it previously for Crohn's disease for several years. As I remember, it is infused once monthly.

    I hope this finds you continuing to do well!

    The Remicade has worked for my WG, I have been infused every 6/8 wks for 4.5 yrs and my WG has been inactive for about 2 yrs. I was unable to take the and other meds for the WG so the remicade was my option..

    Then good thing the remicade works for you, Randy. It is indeed a long road....

    Congratulations Randy. I'm reminded of the line from Mr. Mom "240,241 whatever it takes."
