    How long should he give remicade to work?

    My husband got his 3rd dose of remicade last Wednesday. He still has blood in his stools and goes 10-15 times(sometimes more) a day. He just got out of the hospital yesterday. He is in lots of pain daily and hardly eats or drinks.

    Husband in hospital AGAIN :(

    We're home but really no better. I don't know how we're going to keep him home if a drink of water makes him have diarrhea. They did start him on ulcer meds and it has helped with the burning he was having. He also came home on a 30 day script for vanco. Just today he has already been to the...

    Husband admitted

    I answered those questions but was wrong about the steroid. He is on Iv steroid. So I was there when the dr rounded tonight and he has ruled out c diff. He said his crp only dropped from 55-45 and he would have seen a bigger drop with the antibiotic treatment. He said husband is a very...

    Husband admitted

    1. Was it IV steroid? If not, what dose? His steroid was 60mg by mouth but they stopped it in the hospital so no more steroid. 2. Have they done a CT scan on him? If not, ask why. If they did, what did it show? They did a ct scan in the ER two weeks ago and saw the inflammation but no...
