Welcome @ginjaco, Sorry to hear you are having what might be serious side effects of your inflectra infusion treatments and you haven't received any help from your doctors or the different ERs. Here's some information I found on the side effects but I'm not sure how helpful it will be.

You mentioned that November was your 3rd inflectra infusion and that is when the different symptoms started. Have you asked your doctor if there are any alternative treatments for the infusions?
