Infusion vs injections

Hi all!

Had my appointment today and it was not as good as I was thinking it would be! I gained 20 pounds from lack of movement and I also explained some weird symptoms I've been having. Also, just the feeling fatigued and horrible most days. My blood work is going down but I don't FEEL better.

My Rhuem is not happy with a 75% improvement, she wants 100% as much as possible. She talked with me about possibly trying infusions in June.

I have only been doing MTX and Humira injections. She said that infusions are more potent and she wants me to try Remicade infusions if I don't see a better result by June! She said they can set the dosage for my body weight and essentially make it more powerful than an injection that is a set dosage.

My question is if anyone has had crazy results from Infusions over injections? I'm not sure about trying to switch so soon in my RA journey? I'm not even at the one year mark yet?
