Finally we have RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!

by Mary
(Illinois)

After years of trying 6MP, Entocort, prednisone, flagil and an assortment of other meds we finally have wonderful response with remicade. I had forgotten how wonderful it is to sleep at night without interruption. I cannot imagine how our son must have been feeling. We even now have his jejunostomy site looking great and he is wanting to be on his stomach. There truly is help out there if you just search long enough. Don't give up.

I AM SURPRISED YOU ARE JUST LEARNING OF REMICADE. THIS HAS BEEN AVAIABLE SINCE THE MID 90'S. I WAS THE FIRST CROHNS PATIENT TO RECEIVE REMICADE IN THE CITY I WAS LIVING IN TEXAS AT THE TIME 1997. IT DID MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. I HAD ANOTHER INFUSION IN 2000 AFTER MY LAST SURGERY.
IF YOUR GI IS JUST NOW RECOMMENDING REMICADE I WOULD LOOK FOR ANOTHER. ALSO, MOST SURGEONS WOULD STRONGLY AGREE YOU NOT USE PREDNISONE IF POSSIBLE. PREDNISONE ONLY COMPLICATES ANY SURGERY LATER AND IS ONLY A QUICK FIX FOR A MORE SERIOUS UNDERLYING PROBLEM. A BLAND DIET, FISH OIL AND TRY PROBIOTICS.
