Remicade
After finding a small blood trace in my phlem I had a cat scan that showed numerous nodules on my lungs. My doctor said they may have developed because of my years of using Remecade {bio simular} which lowered my immune system. Anyone with simular experience?
Hi
, I’m glad you’re reaching out. I’m sorry to hear that you’re dealing with lung nodules. How are you doing currently?
While I can’t speak to them myself, I hope our community members with lung nodules (especially those also with experience with Remicade) can share with you here.
I did some searching and did not find any articles exactly pertaining to your question, but we do have this article about RA modules in general, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/what-is-ra/ra-nodules. And this article, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/medical-conditions-occurring-along-with-ra/lung-diseases has information about RA and lung disease (including nodules) and notes that interstitial lung disease has been linked to TNF-inhibitor treatments (which includes Remicade).
How are you managing? Are they able to do anything for you for the nodules? And is your RA able to also be managed right now?
Please know this community is here for you!
