I get Remicade at an infusion center every 6 weeks and it's close to 2 hours for the actual infusion time. You have to keep your arm straight as the medication is infused or the IV drip takes longer, which I have learned the hard way when I bring work or start texting on my phone, activities that invariably disrupt your arm being in a straight, relaxed position.

Oh good, I am glad it is two hours for you and not every 4 weeks. I hear all kinds of things about it. And yeah I bet, some people said they sleep through the whole thing. I would probably bring books with me to read and get caught up on reading time lol. The whole keeping the arm straight thing might be hard to try to read books though.
