Thanks alot for the answers!

Yes I kinda suspect that they will have to take some special considiration on my case. But I must say I got a nice feeling looking up that "google" link:P Actually found an answer wish I havent found before searching..

""New" FAA-authorized medications:

Remicade (infliximab): The FAA requires that a patient take two to three doses (usually given 2-4 weeks apart) before applying for approval of this treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease."

If im right, that means that they want the patient to take the medicin atleast 2-3 times before applying just to see that the patient dosent suffer from any side affects. Iv taken the dose for about 30-40 times, given every 6-12 weeks apart with no side affects at all, ever.

So that text kinda made me abit calmer Will take the class 1 test later this summer I belive. Il get back to you with the results of it incase someone is interessted.

So thanks for replying, and if anyone has a personal experience with this treatment and the aviation, feel free to post ..
