I was officially diagnosed with CD earlier this year and have recently begun Inflectra infusions. I have minimal regular symptoms, but have had 2 partial small bowel obstructions in less than 2 years, which elevates me to "severe symptoms." My questions are these: For others on this medication, what side effects have you experienced? What was the time frame of those side effects in relation to the infusion?

Hi there,
I have a few friends with CD and my BF was diagnosed recently. My friends have had minimal or no side effects and believe the inflectra is a god send. My BF however, was diagnosed with mononeuropathy multiplex. He has severe pain and weakness in hands and feet. His pain started 2-3 months after the first infusion, after the induction period, between 3rd and 4th infusions.
Good luck.
