As a patient with severe pan-ulcerative colitis, I looked for any medication that might be able to spare me from 3-life altering surgeries. Even though Remicade is more commonly used for treating Crohn's Disease than UC, some doctors do use it in patients with severe UC and that are either resistant to or dependent on steroids.
While Remicade is known to potentially cause some serious side-effects like Lymphoma and other infections, I didn't suffer any significant side effects from the drug. However, it didn't help me at all either and was unsuccessful in controlling my UC.
